Indeed. I made it work with <xsl:if> but thanks to Noel Grandin and you,
<xsl:choose> is the way to go.

The handbook tells: Have xml + xsl + css and you get a page in browser.
So I used main_tranform.xsl + default.css to display a main.xhp file in
a browser.

Well sort of. In the first attempt, I hit the firefox bug. Thrilling.

I guess that the module xmlhelp/ is actually a xslt processor created to
render xhp into writer-web for the help pages, plus the handling of the
indexes and bookmarks. To use modern technology instead, we will have to
untangle all this ancient code.

The good news is: it actually works. You can display a page in the
broswer, modulo more work to debug the transformation and address the
embeds and the issues you raised on the paths.

Happy hacking ahead.
