Hi Joerg, Currently I have an ant build convert the xml documents and place them in the correct place of the web server but adding new documents to this list is time consuming and can only really be done by a couple of people here, as you have to modify the build file. Adding new conversion pipelines is even more awkward. So I was looking at cocoon to make the job easier, simply dump new xml documents into a folder, specify the url and away you go. But I can only really do this if I can keep the same look and feel of the documents as when their created using ant. I'll do some investigation and see what redirect gives me but I was hoping to use chunk.xsl because it automates so much of the linking between chapters. Well if anyone knows an easy solution let me know in any case I'll start working on my own solution and post it if I find an acceptable one.

I use some stylesheets with xalan:redirect extension for debugging outputs, so there should not be a problem in general. But I don't know the exact implementation/usage of xalan redirect in DocBook xsl. I can imagine that no output is created from the transformation itself, but only to xalan redirect. This means you have no response to send to the client. But why using chunk.xsl on the fly? Are these dynamic data? We use it for online help for example and the chunk.xsl is used at build time, not at request/run time.
