Different DocBook versions Nowadays, DocBook has two major versions: 4 or 5. Among other changes, the most prevalent difference is a namespace in version 5. This looks like this: <refentry xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" ...> If you don't have this namespace it is DocBook 4 which usually looks like this: <!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"> <refentry ...> 2. Different DocBook stylesheets Furthermore, the DocBook project publishes also the DocBook stylesheets. These are XSLT stylesheets which can transform the XML input into the most common output formats (HTML, FO, or--in your case--manpage). The tricky part is that these stylesheets comes in a non-ns and ns variant (ns stands for namespace). Although the non-ns variant is made for DocBook 4 and the ns variant for DocBook 5, it normally doesn't matter. However, I discovered some strange effects when using the ns variant with DocBook 4 sources (or vice versa). To make a long story short: check which DocBook version you have and use the right stylesheet for the job. For example, in case you still use DocBook 4, you want to try the non-ns variant. Replace this path: /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh5/current/manpages/docbook.xsl with this: /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/manpages/docbook.xsl (without the "5" in nwalsh) Hope that helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
