    Hi,
    I can't see what is going wrong from the information you provided. When I cd to
    docbook-xsl-1.76.1 and execute this command:

    xsltproc -o myfile.xsl template/titlepage.xsl fo/titlepage.templates.xml

    I get a "myfile.xsl" that is identical to fo/titlepage.templates.xsl. Does it work
    when you process the original spec file? Can you provide more details of what you
    tried?
