Re: FW: [xep-support] Modular DocBook 5 documents using XInclude

Conclusion: I ran into problems invoking Xalan directly without it choking
on the XIncludes, but getting FOP to do it was trivial. For those who
follow: problem solved with something like

%FOP% -xml mydoc.xml -foout mydoc.fo %DOCBKXSL%
xep.bat -fo mydoc.fo -pdf mydoc.pdf

Thanks for support...
