Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: RE: DOCBOOK: Problems creating pdf file of tdg
Hello Jens, I thought I could process TDG CVS with the latest 'official' DocBook XML DTD 4.1.2 (see http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/#documents) and latest DocBook XSL 1.48 (see http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935&release_id=68704 ). I realize the TDG CVS is WIP and that I run the risk of having a TDG version that is not complete (content and/or structure). What I didn't realize is that the DocBook XSL is also WIP and TDG CVS could depend on XSL features available only in XSL CVS. So if a create my own documents and stick to DocBook XML DTD 4.1.2 and DocBook XSL 1.48 I will be all right? Right?
