Re: [docbook-apps] Do docbook Stylesheet access the Internet

[Paul Taylor <paul_t100 at fastmail dot fm>]

The problem occurs when i run the xml document through an xslt processor 
to generate html. The problem was with accessing the DTD which was not 
available. Ive tried manually copying it locally but it refers to 
additional DTDs.
