Hi Paul,
This appears to be a bug introduced in version 1.79.1, in which the table templates had a complete rewrite.
In the manpages stylesheet, tables of either kind are first converted to HTML tables and then converted to tbl tables. For HTML tables, it is only necessary to copy the table elements. But in 1.79.1, this line:
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
was replaced with:
<xsl:apply-templates mode="strip.namespace" select="*"/>
but this should only appear in the namespaced version of the stylesheet to remove the docbook namespace from the HTML table elements. With DocBook 4 elements without a namespace, this fails because there is no default template for non-docbook-namespaced elements.
If you could please file a github issue on this item, it can be fixed in the source.
As a workaround, you can add this template to a customization layer which provides that default template:
<xsl:template match="*" mode="strip.namespace">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="self::d:*" xmlns:d="
http://docbook.org/ns/docbook">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Let me know if this works for you.

I've just converted a bunch of DocBook tables from CALS markup to HTML markup. I then find that the manpage transform omits them, or rather, all I get in the output is:
.TS
allbox tab(:);

A diff between the output produced for the CALS versus HTML table looks like this:
.TS
allbox tab(:);
-l l s s
-l l l s.
-T{
-\fBCommand\-Line Format\fR
-T}:T{
-\-\-directory dir_path, \-d dir_path
-T}
-T{
-\fBPermitted Values\fR
-T}:T{
-\fBType\fR
-T}:T{
-string
-T}
+.
.TE
Our setup has a bunch of prepreprocessing, so it's possible the trouble lies there, although the DocBook that we end up shoving into the manpages transform *does* contain the table source.
So, quick question: Is the manpages transform known to have issues with HTML-markup tables, or should I continue to look elsewhere for the source of the problem?
I can provide more information if necesssary; I'm just making a preliminary inquiry for now. Thanks.
