Re: [Denemo-devel] Docbook & the manual (was Re: make dist failure)

[Richard Shann]

I did some digging around and found a package docbook-xsl-doc-html which
installed the missing file (in a new place /usr$
share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl-ns/html) and then the command
to generate the html worked. So I have updated the manual (a bit).

I have also written up the ChangeLog.
