Using ldp.dsl produces an array of errors that I spent an entire day trying
to resolve but never could. Among them are (which I already posted to this
list):
openjade:/usr/local/dbtools/docbook-dsssl/html/ldp.dsl:20:0:E: character
data is not allowed here
openjade:/usr/local/dbtools/docbook-dsssl/html/ldp.dsl:359:18:E: reference
to undefined variable "$table-width$"
openjade:/usr/local/dbtools/docbook-dsssl/html/ldp.dsl:324:28:E: reference
to undefined variable "$verbatim-line-by-line$"
And:
1st argument for primitive "string=?" of wrong type: "#f" not a string
At this point I just need something that works 'well enough' as I am
unfortunately under a surprise deadline to get these docs finished.
Hopefully, when I meet this deadline I can go back and try and resolve the
problems I was having with ldp.dsl.
