Re: [docbook-apps] callout-lists and HTML/PDF creation with xsltproc/libxslt

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Daniel,
I'm afraid that both the line numbering feature and the inserted callouts 
feature are both implemented as Java extensions in Xalan and Saxon, and 
won't work with xsltproc.

I understand your quandary about needing xsltproc's XInclude feature as 
well.  One solution is to process the XIncludes with xmllint to create a 
temp file, and process the temp file with Saxon with extensions to get the 
callouts or line numbers.
