Hi Together!
I had the same problem and obviously many others two. Here is a really
good answer from Laurent. It works well on my system.
Is there any page with FAQ's about DocBook processing with XSL- and
DSSSL-Stylesheets? Maybe this should go into there? If there is isn't
any FAQ-Page, I would offer to do one and publish it on my homepage.
Everyone is free to send me any FAQ he/she want's (maybe directly
encoded in DocBook).
BTW: I coudn't find any search formular for the Mailing-List-Archives
on the Oasis-Open page. Is there any possibilty to search them or
do I have to read all of them and look for what I am searching for.
Ciao,
Ali.

I write errors to a file, I get same errors as you, but the output is good.
Here my reply in discussion "DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: docbook, dsssl, and jade
installation", I describe my full installation, which works correctly
(except the indicated errors but they have no effect for me).

Under Windows NT 4 (but this may not influence global configuration):
DocBook XML 4.1.2
DocBook DSSSL 1.5.8 (with dbl1zhcn.ent, dbl1zhcn.dsl and dbl1hu.ent
modified by N.Walsh, which will be part of 1.5.9 - sent separately of the
list post).
Jade for Window 1.2.1
Currently I type all my XML files with Unicode-UTF8 encoding (SC Unipad on
Windows NT, nice for Unicode).
My environment variables are:
SGML_CATALOG_FILES=o:\tools\doctools\catalogs.txt
SP_CHARSET_FIXED=YES
SP_ENCODING=xml
(note: I tried SP_ENCODING=XML (uppercase) and it gives me few problems
with HTML output, where automatically generated strings (bottom of page
with "Next"/"Previous" in french "Suivant"/"Pr嶰嶮ent" has diacritics in
ISO encoding while my text has diacritics in UTF8 encoding).
After a long email exchange with Norman Walsh, my catalog file finally only
contain:
CATALOG "o:\tools\doctools\jade\catalog"
CATALOG "o:\tools\doctools\docbook\docbook.cat"
(I put them into a text file and make this text file my catalog file - this
allow to easily change catalog without having to change SGML_CATALOG_FILES
environnement variable when doing tests).
I have defined two batch files to call jade with the right options,
docrtf.bat:
<<
@echo Generation du .rtf a partir du .xml (DTD DocBook) et avec jade
jade -t rtf -f error.log -d
O:\tools\doctools\DocBookDSSSL\print\docbook.dsl
O:\tools\doctools\DocBookDSSSL\dtds\decls\xml.dcl %1
>>
And dochtml.bat:
<<
@echo Generation du .html a partir du .xml (DTD DocBook) et avec jade
jade -t sgml -f error.log -i html -d
O:\tools\doctools\DocBookDSSSL\html\docbook.dsl
O:\tools\doctools\DocBookDSSSL\dtds\decls\xml.dcl %1
>>
Finally, the last unresolved problem (but which has no effect for me as I
use UTF8 encoding characters, the output is good) is a list of errors like:
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:6:19:E: "X00E1" is not a
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:7:19:E: "X00C1" is not a
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:8:18:E: "X00E2" is not a
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:9:18:E: "X00C2" is not a
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:10:19:E: "X00E0" is not a
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:11:19:E: "X00C0" is not a
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:12:18:E: "X00E5" is not a
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:13:18:E: "X00C5" is not a
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:14:19:E: "X00E3" is not a
function name
..
Hope this help.
A+
Laurent.
