[Scons-dev] User-guide generation

[William Blevins]

Dirk,

Nothing. I got everything working including a full set of release binaries
(for Linux). After going through some documents, I figured out the issue
that I was having.

1. I moved to python-lxml2 + python-lxst1 (names may not be exact).
2. I figured out I was not getting document content updates as I expected
because I wasn't running the #bin scripts.

I suppose we could make a PR for evaluating why python-lxml support does
not seem to like the chunked html output.

V/R,
William
