Re: Am I being really dumb? Can't get Norman Walsh's XSLT for DocBookto

dumb can t learn
Yes, XT doesn't implement "key" so that won't work.  I had a DocBook format
xml document and ran Norman's xslt stylesheet(s) on it.  It worked with
Saxon, but not any other processor I tried (I forget which ones).  The thing
is wonderful, except for being so complex I can hardly imagine
troubleshooting it.

Cheers,

Tom P
