AW: DOCBOOK-APPS: [QUESTION] landscaped table orientation using XEP?

["Daniel S. Haischt" <sirabyss@gmx.net>]

hello,

i did something wrong while processing all the various files.
now i have setup the three step sequence accordingly, but
i still have problems with the psmi.xsl stylesheet because
saxon is not able to process the file.

i am getting this error ...

-------8<------------------8<------------------8<--------------

i guess the problem is in line 101 of psmi.xsl

-------8<------------------8<------------------8<--------------

any ideas?

i just downloaded psmi.xsl today.

regards
