We are exactly on the same way here ;) I contacted Jirka about those
XSLT sheets, and what they can do, and got some good letters.
Especially it seems that the XSLT ones are better for chm generation,
as we can generate the three documents needed for the CHM make program
in one step, and no need for those tricky but ugly PHP regexs in
make_chm.php and make_chm_fancy.php :))

And you can read README.xsl in the phpdoc root to get some info
how you can build the docs using XSLT.
