I'm trying to convert a DocBook document we wrote using XMLmind into HTML,
and the process is failing.

The error msg comes up in a large dialog box, with a logfile in a pane
that I can copy from.  I won't send the whole log unless you ask, but the
last few lines are:

   Transforming XML file "__doc.xml" to "__doc.html"
   using "xsl/html/chunk.xsl"
   Compiling style sheet 
"file:/C:/Program%20Files/XMLmind_XML_Editor/addon/config/docbook/xsl/html/chunk.xsl"

(sorry, that last line is a long one)

In the gray area of the dlg box above the logfile, it says:

   Command execution has failed:
   java.lang.NullPointerException:
   com.icl.saxon.om.NamePool.allocateCodeForURI(NamePool.java:291)
etc., down to the last few lines:
   com.jclark.xml.parse.base.ParserImpl.parseDocument(Unknown Source)
   com.jclark.xml.sax.SAX2Driver.parse(Unknown Source)

I get the same results with all three HTML output formats (Convert to
HTML, Convert to HTML [one page], and Convert to HTML [one page, no TOC]).

I looked at xslMenu.incl, where the command docb.toHTML has the following
ominous comment:
   <!-- Cannot work and generates a lot of error messages. -->

This is with XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition 3.6.0, Java Runtime
1.5.0_11, Windows XP.  We earlier had the free edition installed; could it
be that the Professional edition installation left something in from the
free edition?  Or is there a plugin that needs to be installed for this to
work?
