I'm trying to get DocBook WebHelp building working.
Although I do already have a working Ant build file based on the one from the 
DocBook stylesheet distribution I would like to use Catalogs for resolving my 
stylesheet locations, which the one provided doesn't.

For my other target formats I'm using Saxon 6, via an Ant Java task.  I have 
catalogs working for these as that's taken care of by parameters passed to 
Saxon.
For WebHelp I'm using the Xslt task - that's how the one in the stylesheet 
distribution is written, and it uses attributes like "if" and "expression" in 
its "param" elements, and I don't know how to convert these to Java/Saxon.

I've tried to follow Ant's documentation regarding the <xmlcatalog> element but 
I can't get it to work.  (I am finding the Ant documentation in this area 
extremely hard to follow)
By "can't get it to work" I mean it doesn't find the files I'm trying to 
reference via the catalog.  It doesn't show any messages indicating whether or 
not it is using the resolver, so I presume it isn't finding it.

Does anyone have any complete example of this working.
Ie one that includes a reference to the resolver jar, and the classpath, and 
the catalog file and/or catalogManager.properties.


Alternatively - I think the only thing that blocked me from using Saxon was not 
knowing how to implement @expression and @if, so if anyone can indicate how to 
do that for Java/Saxon I may revert to that option.


Appreciatively,
Richard.
