docbook: Thread: trouble with ldp_print

ok, not docbook woes, but i didn't know where else to turn.

i've been maintaining the linux gamers' howto for awhile now, and
suddenly out of the blue, i'm getting errors when i try to make a ps
file out of it.

here's the makefile:

   STYLE=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/dsssl/modular/html/ldp.dsl
   DOCUMENT=linux-gamers-howto
   JADEOPTIONS=-t sgml -i html -V nochunks -d ldp.dsl\#html
   
   # all:
   #  jade -t tex -d ${STYLE}#html linux-gamers-howto.sgml
   #  jadetex linux-gamers-howto.tex
   #  dvips -o linux-gamers-howto.ps linux-gamers-howto.dvi
   
   all:
   	jade ${JADEOPTIONS} linux-gamers-howto.sgml > linux-gamers-howto.html
   	ldp_print linux-gamers-howto.html
   
   clean:
   	rm -rf *.aux *.fot *.log *.dvi *.tex *.ps *.html

here's the output:

  p@satan% make
  jade -t sgml -i html -V nochunks -d ldp.dsl#html linux-gamers-howto.sgml > linux-gamers-howto.html
  ldp_print linux-gamers-howto.html
  ERR002: Error: no pages generated! (did you remember to use webpage mode?
  
  ldp_print: could not create linux-gamers-howto.pdf ()
  make: *** [all] Error 1

the single file html file, body.html and title.html are all being made
correctly.

if i add --webpage to $cmd in ldp_print, htmldoc makes a ps file which
is almost correct, but a sentence gets cut off here and there(!).

the thing is, webpage mode is incorrect, since it's intended for html
documents without heading tags like <H3>.


life was good until a few days ago.  i'm not sure what happened and why
no pages are being generated.

help?

thanks!
pete

ldp_print is a filter/library I created. This indicates the body and
title files are not getting properly created. I'll need a copy of
your SGML or XML input file(s).
