  * Add presentation pipelines in {{{mypub/sitemap.xmap}}} if you need special pipelines for your doctype
 
+Make sure you understand that for your new doctype you don't need a replacement for page2xhtml.xsl but for xhtml2xhtml. The reason is this:
+
+Transforming a document to a page in the browser is always a two-step process,
+
+ # using {doctype}2xhtml.xsl the document (which might be any arbritary XML such as the link list, Docbook, a RSS feed, etc.) is turned into an XHTML presentation.
+ # this XHTML is then processed to contain nagivation, menus and the like using page2xhtml.
+
+If you have 5 doctypes in your publication, for example:
+
+ * rss
+ * linklist
+ * gallery
+ * docbook
+ * xhtml
+
+the concept would be
+
+{{{
+document -> rss2xhtml       --+
+document -> linklist2xhtml  --+
+document -> gallery2xhtml   --+---> page2xhtml.xsl -> Browser
+document -> docbook2xhtml   --+
+document -> xhtml2xhtml.xsl --+
+}}}
