docbook-apps

Hi Bob,
DOH! I was doing this:

xsltproc --output /tmp/blah.xsl
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/html/titlepage.xsl
titlepage.templates.xml

instead of:

xsltproc --output /tmp/blah.xsl
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/template/titlepage.xsl
titlepage.templates.xml

html/titlepage.xsl vs template/titlepage.xsl.

I thought 'template' meant which template; html or fo, rather than
actual 'template'.

thanks!
Matt

I doubt if you are the only one to be caught out like that.
Not sure what to suggest as an alternative name, but I
find it confusing.
