this document has a typo:

Example 20.1. Target database document

<!ENTITY ugtargets SYSTEM "file:///doc/userguide/target.db"> 
...
            &ugtargets; (11)
this should be
            %ugtargets; (11)
(& --> %)

I get this:

$ xsltproc --timing --stringparam target.database.document \
   "olink-pile.xml" -o impnotes.html pile.xsl impnotes.xml
Parsing stylesheet pile.xsl took 2 ms
Parsing document impnotes.xml took 3253 ms

In immpnotex.xml, I refer to "clisp.html" as
<olink targetdoc="man"/>
<olink targetdoc="man" targetptr="opt-exec-file"/>
<olink targetdoc="man" targetptr="opt-memfile"><option>-M</option></olink>

I have both man.db and imp-pile.db in the current directory, generated
by
man.db: clisp.xml
	xsltproc --stringparam collect.xref.targets "only" \
	  --stringparam targets.filename "$@" pile.xsl $<
imp-pile.db: impnotes.xml $(IMPNOTES)
	xsltproc --stringparam collect.xref.targets "only" \
	  --stringparam targets.filename "$@" pile.xsl $<


thanks!
