Re: [docbook] Strange HTML output...

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

Hi Giuseppe,
That red output indicates that the elements in the DocBook source file are not being 
recognized by the stylesheet. In this case, it is probably a mismatch in namespace. 
That can happen when XIncluding DocBook 4 content into a DocBook 5 book.  Not sure why 
it only shows up in HTML and not FO.

Does docbkx give you access to stylesheet error messages?  If so, that will tell you 
more about the mismatch of these elements.

Are you using a stylesheet customization layer?  Are you doing chunking of the HTML 
output?
