You can find an updated and completed version of this tutorial at
http://www.caldera.de/~eric/crash-course/HTML/index.html
It also has updated "hello world" examples in it.

The two -c and -d flags should not be necessary. But they ensure you use
"bare bones" Norman Walsh's stuff, and not our default stylesheet.

If you volunteer to update the web pages, to me you're welcome ;-).
Mark?

The 3.0 catalog has been auto-detected by the docbook-utils because
you're trying to render a 3.0 (outdated) document.
The 3.1 catalog is used because you specified it on the command line.
This tells you you should remove the "-c" argument that forces here to
use a wrong catalog.

TeX classical problem. The default configuration files do not allow
enough resources for docbook.
I think we have a corrected version on the web site. Attached is also a
patch we use at KDE.
