Re: [docbook-apps] Getting started, using FOP/AntennaHouse

Thanks.

As far as AntennaHouse XSL Formatter has been concerned, this is solved:
Antenna still is using MSXML v3.0, which has a problem with the
"xsl:stylesheet" declaration in autoidx.xsl. (Antenna didn't throw an
appropriate error, though.)

Transforming the XML file to xxx.FO by using MSXML v4.0, resp. XML.NET, and
then rendering that .FO file to PDF by using Antenna, solved this issue.

Thanks again,
Robert

P.S.: Nothing against Antenna, though, - it's still one of the best tools
available for XSL:FO transformations.
