This again falls into the category of "I can do this in xsltproc," and I've reviewed the online documentation as well. I'm trying to be clear about the process so I can figure out why I can either produce unstyled HTML or get the error "could not find a stylesheet in the "xml-stylesheet" declaration" but cannot seem to produce a styled web page. I've been basing my efforts on http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-author/common-transformations.html . * I have an XML file. For simplicity in this test I'm processing it with docbook.xsl . * I have a CSS file. it appears to be valid. * I set up a transformation with docbook.xsl from the XHTML directory (I've also tried HTML), uncheck FO processing, select the CSS file as my XSL file (which requires toggling to view/all files while browsing). Now, because I've called the CSS in the transformation, do I or do I not place it directly in the XML file? Also, should I check off "use xml-stylesheet declaration" in the transformation? -- -- | Karen G. Schneider | Community Librarian | Equinox Software Inc.
