Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Managing changes to the XSLT stylesheets
Thanks Markus - that's precisely what I was trying to say! Now, this bit me because I had happened to customise the 'section' templates, which had changed a fair bit - I may have just been unlucky in this regard, but since I was simply adding new lines, the 'diff' approach would have worked cleanly. Of course, what would be nice is a diff <-> customization layer conversion tool, but I'll leave that for another day. :-) Thanks, Geraint North Principal Engineer Transitive On 12 Sep 2007, at 13:01, Markus Hoenicka wrote: > Quoting Dave Pawson <davep@dpawson.co.uk>: > >> Confused.
