Hi Shlomi,
Yes, the dbtoepub is the script to generate epub2 output using the
stylesheets in the "epub" directory.
If you are using DocBook 5 and the namespaced stylesheets, then any custom
templates that specify an element name must attach the namespace prefix to
the element name. See this section of my book for details:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ProcesingDb5.html#Db5Xslt
So your empty template should use match="d:revhistory", where the d: prefix
is bound to the DocBook 5 namespace.
But I looked at docbook-epub-preproc.xslt and it does not import the stock
epub/docbook.xsl file. I don't understand how it produces any useful output
at all. Are you use that is the file you use?

Hi,
More details are needed to determine the problem.
let me answer them one by one.
What numbered version of DocBook XSL are you using?
Close to latest docbook-xsl-ns-snapshot from
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/snapshot/ .
Are you using DocBook 5 and the the docbook-ns stylesheets, or DocBook4
and
the non-namespaced stylesheets?
I'm using DocBook 5 and docbook-ns.
Are you processing a book or article?
Technically, the story is an article. You can find it at:
https://github.com/shlomif/Human-Hacking-Field-Guide/blob/master/HHFG/text/human-hacking-field-guide--english.db5.xml
Is the revhistory element located in an info element or in the body of
the
document? (revhistory can appear in a para, for example)
Inside an <info></info>
Are you using the epub or epub3 stylesheet?
The EPUB ones I think. I can try using the EPUB 3 too.
How are you importing it and customizing it
I use this:
ruby
-s
/home/shlomif/Download/unpack/file/docbook/docbook-xsl-ns-snapshot/epub/bin/dbtoepub
-s docbook-epub-preproc.xslt -o human-hacking-field-guide--english.epub
human-hacking-field-guide--english.db5.xml
Where docbook-epub-preproc.xslt is:
https://github.com/shlomif/Human-Hacking-Field-Guide/blob/master/HHFG/text/docbook-epub-preproc.xslt
(sorry, I don't have time to reverse engineer your whole build setup).
Sure, I'm happy to provide assistance.
Sorry for losing patience several times before - I think I figured out
what the
problem is, and I was doing something wrong, but it's too bad the
toolchains
did not crash and burn and eat my dog when I did it.
