First up, I don't think you need the [] chars in here.

The errors would indicate that there's a package or two missing from
your system, or that the files aren't copy-able. There's also, from what
i see, an error in the stylesheets that are on your system.

I've had a lot more luck with the docbook xslt transforms than with jade
and db2html. I'll see if I can dig up the instructions when I get to
work tomorrow, since they don't seem to be on this machine.=20

The gist of it, though, was that you could have a very basic xslt
stylesheet, and get the rest as includes form the xslt docbook project
on sourceforge. You would run the following command :

xsltproc html.xsl yourdoc.xml

where yourdoc.xml is the docbook file. xsltproc then does most fothe
heavy lifting for you.=20

I'll get the details for you in the morning, and int he mean time you
can check out http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/ for the style
sheets and their docs.
