Re: [docbook-apps] Error using Applethelp.xsl with 1.64.1

Well, no luck so far, but I haven't given up!

I did try saxon, and, interestingly enough, I got the following error:

Writing files/ar01s02.html for section

Error at xsl:copy-of on line 338 of 
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.64.1/html/chunker.xsl:
  Output character not available in this encoding (decimal 8482)
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported

I wonder if this is a separate issue, or tied to why I'm not getting the 
output?

Incidentally, I'm on Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 (since you asked 
in a previous message).

I'm sure this'll get figured out eventually. Many thanks for the help!
