[TriLUG] DocBook questions

[Michael Mueller]

First off, if this DocBook question needs to go to the dev list, let me know 
and I'll move it to that forum.

I am a DocBook newbie.  I am trying to get a simple example published as 
html.  I am having success, but there are a few errors that I could use some 
help with.

Here is the input.  I used nsgmls to validate the input.  I had to change the 
"3.0" that came with the sample to "4.1".

Here is the the jade processing output.  I learned about the db2html script 
by googling around.  Why is it complaining about line 191 in dbinline?  Why 
can it not stat docbook.css?  The subdir it creates contains a very nice 
DocBook html presentation of the source above (Yea!).

[mike01 at laptop docbook]$ db2html test2

cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets/test/docbook.css':

Thanks for any help.
