I've taken a look through the e-mail archives, and I've tried
googling, but I'm unable to find an answer to why I can't do something
that should be quite simple. :( I've found documentation for how to
do it using Docbook 4.x (and had no luck using it with Docbook 5), but
it *seems* like a good thing to do it in Docbook 5. (Right?)
I'm hoping that some kind soul can help me understand what it is
that I'm doing wrong. I think that all I need is one good example.
Thanks in advance!

What I'm trying to do:
================
I would like to be able to create an application-specific prompt to
create documentation for the application. The prompt looks like:
app: server_name>
where I'd like to define server_name in an entity as an attribute
with a reasonable default. To illustrate, I'd like to be able to
write:
<app> <command> bleh </command>
<variable>colour</variable>=<replaceable>blue</replaceable>
</app>
<app server="server2" > <command> bleh </command>
<variable>colour</variable>=<replaceable>green</replaceable>
</app>
and have the output look something like:
app: server1> bleh colour=blue
app: server2> bleh colour=green
Where I am so far
==============
Input file: test.xml
----------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</book>
My DTD app.dtd:
------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Add the "app" element to something hopefully similar to what I want. :)
If I understand things correctly, this inserts the element
definition into
the right spots in the DocBook grammar (aka DTD).
-->
<!ENTITY % local.tech.char.class "|app" >
<!-- Other documentation I've seen suggests taking the
docbook dtd, making a parameter entity and invoking it here.
It goes badly for me if I do
<!ENTITY % DOCBOOK SYSTEM "file://c:/docbook/lib/docbook-50b5/dtd/docbook.dtd">
%DOCBOOK;
So I can't use the above. Right?
-->
<!-- Create the "app" element -->
<!ELEMENT app (#PCDATA|filename|replaceable|constant|parameter)* >
<!-- Set a default server name -->
<!ATTLIST app server ENTITY "server1" >
My app.xsl
------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
<!-- Here's where it starts to get really scary for me. :)
This is also wrong, but I *think* shows what I want to do.
-->
<xsl:template match="app">
<xsl:call-template name="db:prompt">
<xsl:value-of select="@server" />
</xsl:call-template>
&
<xsl:apply-templates select="." />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Invocation with xsltproc
==================
xsltproc --nonet --xinclude --output test.fo app.xsl test.xml
