I've been working my way through this book for the past couple of weeks. It has taught me some things I didn't know but, in some cases, has left me more confused. It doesn't usually take me this long to get through a book and with O'Reilly books, I'm usually thrilled with the book ... not this time though!
One of the biggest frustrations is that I've been unable to get a couple of the examples to work:
- The example on page 136 for embedding counters and content just seems to get ignored when I include it in my DocBook style sheet.
- I downloaded the examples 0401.xml and 0402.css, renamed the style1.css href in 0401.xml to point to 0402.css and get nothing but one big blob of text.
So, unless there is something to explain the issues later in the book, or the version of IE I'm using can't handle the XHTML/CSS combo, I don't get any benefit from example 0402.xml if it doesn't even work!
