SOLVED - Re: [docbook-apps] blank lines when trying to generatecustom titlepage with xsltproc

[Matt Dew <matt@osource.org>]

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
