Thanks for testing. I'm afraid the message you get when adding refs to
the personal list is related to a misunderstanding of what this
command does. If you added the refs yourself in the first place,
they're in your personal list anyway, so adding them again won't do
you any good. A different user would most likely be able to pick them
without an error message.

On Debian 3.0 (stable) I get:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.61 \XMLstringX
                \@staticafter<>xsl-after</>

On FreeBSD 4.7 (all packages current as of approx two weeks ago) I
see:

! Missing number, treated as zero.

                   p
l.2 ...egy="character-by-character" language="en">
                                                  <fo:layout-master-set><fo:...

I assume that the XSLT stylesheets do not cooperate well with the TeX
macros. If we include your results, the whole thing is broken in at
least three different ways ... not very reassuring.

I'll think about adding a config option to transform the XML documents
using the Jade/JadeTeX toolchain. This may be a slap in the face of
the XML/XSLT proponents but I need something that works.

regards,
Markus
