I did look at your message and try it with xml, it failed. It returns
lots of errors when I run the 2 command
$ collateindex.pl -N -o index.xml
$ jade -t sgml -V html-index -d html/ldp.dsl LDP-Author-Guide.xml -o LDP
jade:/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2/docbookx.dtd:74:17:E: "X20AC"
is not a function name
jade:/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2/ent/iso-amsa.ent:8:19:E:
"X21B6" is not a function name
jade:/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2/ent/iso-amsa.ent:9:19:E:
"X21B7" is not a function name
..
...
...
..
jade:I: maximum number of errors (200) reached; change with -E option
Lots of errors, don't know what's going on??
I test it with the xml source of the LDP-Author-Guide from the CVS . I
am running Redhat 7.2 with stock docbook tools . I am sorry to ask again
and again, but I've been stuck for weeks here. Thanks for your help anyway.
regards,
David
