Hi
Klaus,
  

I think you have misunderstood that example.  That was a snippet from a
DocBook XSL localization file, not something to insert in your file. 
If you want to declare a document to be German, you would add a
lang="DE_DE" attribute to the root element of your document (or
xml:lang if using DocBook 5).  Then the stylesheet will process it with
German generated text.  If I have misunderstood your intentions, let me
know.

  Hi,
    

    

according to the example on page 334 of "DocBook XSL" I insert the
following lines in my file
    

    

<l:l10n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0"
    

       language="de"
    

       english-language-name="German">
    

    

Processing the file with xsltproc under Debian lenny I get the
following message
    

    

xxx.dbk:154: parser error : Premature end of data in tag l10n line 17
    

    

What is missing ?
    

Where can I find the documentation for this tag?
    

    

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

thank you very much for your help.

I did what you suggested and it works.

And with that my problems start.

You suggested >lang="DE_DE"<, in one of the books[1][2] it says
>lang="de"< and somewhere it 

says >xml:lang="de"< .

Now I have three notations and each works. So what is the "correct"
notation?

Flexibility is nice but too much flexibility confuses.

At the moment I am somewhat confused as to where I have to look for
information: [1] or [2] in case I

am stuck.

A ray of hope: in the mean time I am able to successfully use a
catalog: mainly due to the complete example in [2].

Thanks again.
