xsltproc does also the job... I frequently have that kind of things in
my debian/rules...

xsltproc -o debian/ -''-nonet /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl debian/themanpage.1.xml

Actually, maybe this is just what xmlto does. Using xmlto would
therefore protect me from changes in the layout of the directories
containing xsl pages. I think I will switch to xmlto.

Any opinion on this ?


Have a nice day,
