You can install the docbook schemas and stylesheets using the normal Unix 
tarballs of course. However what I usually do is to use MacPorts, as that won't 
modify any Apple-supplied stuff, it patches things (if necessary) to make them 
build and work on OS X, and is a convenient way of installing packages like 
this.

Go to  and then when it is installed & 
set up, run:

sudo port install docbook-xsl

Cheers,

Chris

Yes, docbook-xsl is what I meant by "XSL stylesheets". The latest version is
1.75.2 (and 1.76.1 is in the works). See
http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/

Here you are not referring to any stylesheets. You have references to a DTD
and a couple of entities.

See this indispensable guide for everything you need to know about using
DocBook XSL:

I hope there is... But I know very little about Mac OS X, sorry.

Mauritz,
I didn't realise I was on the legacy platform :-)

FWIW, I have used fink to install them, and fink says:
 i   docbook-dsssl-n  1.79-4   Norman Walsh's DSSSL DocBook  
stylesheets
 i   docbook-dtd  4.5.0-1  DocBook SGML/XML DTDs official  
releases
(i)  docbook-utils0.6.14-1008  Utilities for manipulating SGML and  
XML
 i   docbook-xsl  1.74.3-1 Norman Walsh's XSL DocBook  
stylesheets


So I have the XSL's installed - but I also have the DSSSL's, so  
perhaps I'm referring to the wrong ones?


The top of my file says:

thanks!

The last release of the DocBook DSSSL stylesheets was in 2004. The
stylesheets are still available for download, but they are no longer
actively maintained. Very few people ask about them these days. It  
may not
be the answer you were hoping for, but I would recommend you to  
consider

switching to the XSL stylesheets.
