Re: [docbook-apps] I/O error : Is a directory - error processing a DB book withdocbook-xsl chunk stylesheet

Well, the usage statement for xsltproc says the --output option takes a 
filename, and doesn't mention a directory name.  If your intention is to 
chunk into the built-doc directory, then use the DocBook stylesheet 
parameter named "base.dir" to specify that directory, as in

--stringparam base.dir built-doc/
