Re: [docbook-apps] any problems with DocBook XSL 1.79.0?

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Dick,
Sorry for the slow response.  If you look in the xhtml directory, there
is a special master file named docbook-no-doctype.xsl, which is
identical to docbook.xsl except it omits that <xsl:output> directive.
Switching to that solved the problem in some cases.  But no one ever did 
it for xhtml-1_1 for epub 2 documents.
