Re: [docbook-apps] xpath into docbook namespace
Hi,
If you are using the namespace-aware version of the stylesheets (with "-ns-" 
in the directory name), then you need to add the namespace declaration to 
your stylesheet and use the namespace in element matches.  See this doc for 
details:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomDb5Xsl.html

Assuming the context of the xpath is correct for selecting article, an xpath 
such as d:article/d:title would be appropriate.
