Hi Bob,
I don't see the advantage of using a XML document for my CSS file and having the the XSLT stylesheets copying it. I see the following issues:
1.) Standard CSS editors cannot edit the file
2.) Duplicate the content of the CSS file
3.) Usage of a a non-standard format for my CSS file.
4.) Re-use difficult. As I re-used the same CSS file for non DocBook based articles I would have to maintain 2 version of the file.
Would it be possible to use a standard css file? I generate the articles for my webpage from Docbook and all articles are pointing to a central CSS file. The "html.stylesheet" parameter was great for that.
Best regards, Lars

Hi Lars,
Ah, I should have mentioned in the README about the
changes for CSS.
The 1.76.1 stylesheets added the capability of
making cleaner HTML and generating one or two CSS files when chunking.
That avoids the need for copying the CSS file into place after building the
HTML. Because HTML5 pretty much needs the clean HTML and CSS, I turned on
that feature for the xhtml5 stylesheets. See these three params for a
description of how to make cleaner HTML with CSS for styling:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/make.clean.html.html
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/docbook.css.source.html
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/custom.css.source.html
I'll put this in the next README

Subject: [docbook-apps] "html.stylesheet"
parameter in the xhtml5 Stylesheets
Hi,
the "html.stylesheet" parameter seem not to be working xhtml5. From
the output:
[xslt] Writing docbook.css for article
The output file also contains a reference to docbook.css. If I replace
the xhtml5 with the html stylesheets the correct css file is used in the
resulting html file.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Best regards, Lars
