Sorry for the cross-post, but Stefan touched on an exposed nerve ending.
Stylebook doesn't seem to actually exist for those outside the Apache
inner circle. There's no section on xml.apache.org for it, a search for
"stylebook" typed into search.apache.org returns "There were no items that
matched your search request".
There's an article on how to write articles with it on
http://www.cscene.org/topics/web/snibril-stylebook-intro.xml.html#N1676039373
, but that article doesn't lower itself to actually providing a URL
where I can locate a DTD and download a set of XSL stylesheets. And I
had to find that article by using google! I loved the acknowledgement
at the end of the article:
Part of the material presented here is based on the Stylebook
documentation, Copyright 1999-2000 by Apache Software Foundation.
Where can mere mortals find this elusive documentation? Can someone
point me to a URL or perhaps a CVS repository/CVS module name
combination? Thanks in advance.

Bill,
I did a search on Altavista and came up with this

[PATCH] Javac possible solution to exception
Posted by Erik Meade <em...@geekfarm.org>.
The exception used to read:
"Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available"
I patched it to read:
"Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available"+
" A common solution is to set the environment variable"+
" JAVA_HOME to your jdk directory."

http://xml.apache.org/websrc/cvsweb.cgi/ is the web scv with a link to it
so it should be possible to find the CVS URL from that (I think it is just
like other xml projects except with module name xml-stylebook).
The best way to learn about it is to just look at the examples. Two
projects I know who have it are Avalon (http://java.apache.org/framework)
and Cocoon (xml.apache.org/cocoon).
Why is it undocumented ? Well I believe it was a proof of concept that grew
out of hand ;) Cocoon2 is meant to replace it eventually - it hasn't got
there yet but will get there in future ;)
Cheers,
Pete
