Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: D'oh!

Answered my own question before I could post.

Whenever I ran jade on my DocBook XML document it would hit the net to
retrieve
my DTD.  I couldn't work with it with an unconnected laptop in a cafe, so I

hardwired in the pathname of the DTD as the system identifier.  This broke
when
I moved from my Slackware laptop to my Debian server.  Can you see what was

wrong?  Here is my original DOCTYPE declaration:

<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS/DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
                "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.0/docbookx.dtd"; [

Later I had the path where "http..." goes.  This broke when I switched
linux
distros.

Here's the correct one:

<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
                "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.0/docbookx.dtd"; [

See the difference?

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that.

I just spent two days trying to get my <variablelist> format changed
(xsl-1.50.0). I couldn't understand why

      <xsl:param name="variablelist.as.block" select="0"/>

seemed to have no effect on the default blocked format.

I'm not sure when I spotted the missing s, but now of course it works like
a charm.

What is this some kind of demonstrative pronoun?
