Well, you just switched from specifying the location
of the XSL file on the command line to the location
of the DocBook DTD in a system identifier.
I assume that was just a typing error.
I'm able to use the following with xsltproc (1.0.18) on Windows XP
for the XSL location on the command line:
file:///C:/docbook/docbook-xsl/html/docbook.xsl
/docbook/docbook-xsl/html/docbook.xsl
../docbook-xsl/html/docbook.xsl
For the DTD location, I'm able to use these in the DOCTYPE
system identifier:
"file:///C:/docbook/docbkx412/docbookx.dtd"
"C:/docbook/docbkx412/docbookx.dtd"
"../docbkx412/docbookx.dtd"
In no case does xsltproc understand backward slashes in
pathnames, it seems.
