That documentation is not completely up-to-date, unfortunately.


|  java -cp 
|  "/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/extensions/saxon
65.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/saxondamnit/saxon.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/xslth
ldamnit/xslthl-2.0.1.jar" 
|  \
|  -Dhighlight.source=1 \


Here you pass highlight.source=1 as a Java system property, but that won't
work since it is an XSLT parameter. But you also added it as parameter in
chunkohp.xsl, so that's OK.

|  hlighters/xslthl-config.xml"

There are some changes in DocBook-XSL 1.74.3 that haven't been properly
announced and documented yet. This is what's needed to use the syntax
higlighting extension:

1. Use a processor that works with the extension: Saxon 6 or Xalan-J.
2. Add the latest version of xslthl-2.X.X.jar to your classpath.
3. Set the highlight.source parameter to 1.
4. Import two stylesheet modules, highlighting/common.xsl and either
html/highlight.xsl (for HTML output) or fo/highlight.xsl (for FO output),
into your customization layer. 

So you need to fix item 4.
