The bug is in the howto.db, which forgot to indicate that the package is sp. I just fixed it. Thanks. But the stylesheet/Debian search engine for packages is broken, anyway, I'll have to find something else.

First beta version of the Debian SGML/XML HOWTO
Since it seems a lot of people have trouble with SGML, since there is irony very few documentation/irony about a language which is supposed to ease the job of documenting, since FAQ are... frequent on this topic, I just wrote the Debian SGML/XML HOWTO. The emphasis is on practical information: how to type and how to process SGML files. It is Debian-specific and intended that way: for any other Unix, I would have to double its size, just for compilation and installation instructions. http://www.debian.org/~bortz/SGML-HOWTO/ You are welcome to send patches, speling fixes, request for improvments or additions.
