Re: [docbook-apps] [HELP] How can I get rid of the output of the <revhistory /> tag in the EPUB output

HI Shlomi,
Your .xslt file is trying to do two things at once, and it won't work as 
written.  It seems you need to preprocess the XML to alter the legalnotice, 
but you should do that step *before* processing it to generate epub output.

1.  Run an XSLT process with xsltproc or saxon with your original preprocess 
stylesheet without importing the epub stylesheet.  That will generate a 
temporary DocBook XML file with the altered legalnotice.

2.  Run the ruby process on that temporary DocBook file using another 
stylesheet that imports epub/docbook.xsl and includes the empty d:revhistory 
templates.
