Hi Again!

I think Norm changed some things recently. The templates
look like this now:

<xsl:template name="hhc">
  <xsl:call-template name="write.text.chunk">
    <xsl:with-param name="filename" select="'toc.hhc'"/>
    <xsl:with-param name="method" select="'text'"/>
    <xsl:with-param name="content">
      <xsl:call-template name="hhc-main"/>
    </xsl:with-param>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="hhc-main">
    <xsl:text>&lt;HTML&gt;
&lt;HEAD&gt;
&lt;/HEAD&gt;
&lt;BODY&gt;
&lt;OBJECT type="text/site properties"&gt;
	&lt;param name="ImageType" value="Folder"&gt;
&lt;/OBJECT&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
...
</xsl:template>

I think these changes will go into future releases of the 
stylesheets. As far as I understood this the output method 
has allready been set to 'text'. I've played with this option 
a little bit and found something strange:

It's completely ignored (at least on my system ;-). It doesn't 
matter if you set it to 'html', 'text' or 'xml' you alway get 
the same toc.hhc!!!! I did a little hack and added to every
<xsl:text>-Tag for the hhc-Templates the attribute 
disable-output-escaping="yes" (file: htmlhelp.xsl). 
This seems to solve the problem for my case. But I fear this is
not the right way ;-) For more detailed review I've attached 
the original message and the patch from Norm to this message.

Here they are, these files go in contrib/htmlhelp. Delete docbook.xsl
from that directory, it's no longer used. And note that you have to
call xtchunk.xsl for xt and chunk.xsl for Saxon. Xalan can not be made
to work because it lacks the ability to write text files with
redirect:write.
