    Hi Lars,
    This is strange. While I always use the Xerces-J parser with Saxon 6, I did not mean to introduce a new dependency on it. I just ran it again with Xerces turned off and its jar file excluded from the classpath, and the xhtml5/docbook.xsl and chunk.xsl work fine without it. I'm running java version "1.6.0_05" on Windows XP under Cygwin. So I'm not able to reproduce your error yet. My command looks like this:

    java -cp saxon.jar com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o mybook.html mybook.xml ../docbook-xsl-1.76.1/xhtml5/docbook.xsl

    You say the html and xhtml stylesheets work without xerces-j, but I don't think the xhtml5 stylesheets are doing anything fundamentally different from those stylesheets. They all pull in stylesheet files from other directories using relative paths. For example, the html/autoidx.xsl file has the same relative path entity declaration:


    %common.entities;

    Also, the html/docbook.xsl file imports templates using relative pathnames:

    <xsl:include href="../common/common.xsl"/>


    I wonder why it works in those instances but not in the xhtml5 instance? I wonder if that error message is being helpful in identifying the source of the problem.

    Hi Bob,

    I was testing under Linux with Ubuntu 10.04, just in case you have easy
    access to a Linux box this might help you to reproduce the error.

    I will also re-build the example on Windows7 and let you know if it works or
    not.

    Best regards, Lars

    Hi Bob,

    The xhmlt5 Stylesheets work fine under Windows7 (without the xerces-j parser
    for me).

    Hi Bob,

    If I remove


    %common.entities;
    ]>

    from the xhtml5/docbook.xsl the conversion works fine without xerces-j.

    I have no idea what the above entry is used for ;-) so I have no idea if
    that is a solution or creating a problem elsewhere.

    Best regards, Lars
