Thank you for looking into that.

The tool set we have is:

- DocBook XSL Stylesheets 1.75.2 ("dbk") or above
  https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets
- DocBook XML 4.5 ("docbook-xml-4.5")
  https://docbook.org/xml/4.5/
- fop 1.1 ("fop-1.1")
  https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/
- libxml2 2-2.7.7 ("libxml2-2.7.7")
  http://xmlsoft.org
- Saxon 6-5-5 ("saxon")
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/saxon/files/saxon6/
- XMLmind Web Help Compiler ("whc")
  https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/whc.shtml
- Ant 1.7.1 or above ("apache-ant")
  https://ant.apache.org

Honestly, I don't know why we are using tools that "old". Maybe it was a licensing issue, etc. But I'm planing to upgrade the tool chain as soon as we have some time.
