Re: [docbook-apps] blank lines when trying to generate custom titlepage with xsltproc

Hi,
I can't see what is going wrong from the information you provided.  When I cd to 
docbook-xsl-1.76.1 and execute this command:

   xsltproc -o myfile.xsl  template/titlepage.xsl  fo/titlepage.templates.xml

I get a "myfile.xsl" that is identical to fo/titlepage.templates.xsl.  Does it work 
when you process the original spec file?  Can you provide more details of what you 
tried?
