Re: DOCBOOK: Chunking with XSL using Xalan?

[carlos@cvc.edu (Carlos)]

Eric:

Make sure that extensions/xalan2 (or something similar) is in your classpath
before you attempt to chunk using Xalan. Chunking is done via extensions and
the extensions are packed on a .jar archive that needs to be visible to your
Java interpreter

80/20 Rule: Simplicity vs. complexity. 80 percent of the
functionality/feature set of an "ideal" solution set, with only 20 percent
of the complexity of the ideal solution or 20 percent of the effort required
to build the ideal solution; or put another way, the last 20 percent of the
"ideal" feature set is what creates the most complexity
