Hello everyone,
On the subject of getting xmlto setup on my Linux box,
I used some instructions from the Suse Linux distribution
to get a little further. If anyone wants the info, let me
know. My box is a slackware system that I've upgraded
and customized for years. I am not about to leave it
for red hat or any other distribution.
I don't have xmlto working properly yet. The same error
occurs with "xmlto pdf xmlto.xml",
"xmlto ps xmlto.xml", and "xmlto dvi xmlto.xml"
Here's what happens:

*******************************
Matches for "\XML@getattrib" are on line 324 and 634 of xmltex.tex
(xmltex.tex,v 1.9). As the error message states, the extra "}" is
being passed along with an argument. I'm not sure what calls
xmltex.tex's "\XML@getattrib". I don't think I can go any further
with this.
Is this a bug, or do I still not have xmlto (and friends) properly
installed? Where to from here?
Thanks,
Steve Whitlatch
