DocBook XSL - Can't get it to do anything, does it do anything?


Hello All,

I am trying to get the docbook style sheets to produce HTML from various 
test source in XML as defined by the DocBook DTD but and very lost on how to 
get a result from the base style sheets.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook

I first tried .NET and had many errors.  Now I have also tried Xalan and XT 
but still no luck so now and I am assuming I must be either using the wrong 
style sheets or having completely the wrong idea about what Docbook does?

I want to use an open library for a publishing application and I just 
thought that Docbook would be ideal as I could share the maintenance with 
other users and even build my own specialism for things that are design 
specific to my application.

What I have been doing is mashing a test article.xml through the processor 
with the docbook.xsl in the html folder (the one that has includes for 
includes for all the others) and expecting some kind of bare bones HTML 
article result but I get nothing except of course errors too complicated to 
trace or a blank article HTML file.

Hope someone with experience with this might be so kind as to give some 
suggestions.

Cheers

G.
