I have a tool chain working in Jessie (i686) using emacs 24.4.1
and nXML that nicely creates DocBook 4.5 xml documents.
Now I would like to return to my first love, debiandoc, and do

imho.
You can see several Debian document sources to know how we
build document from there.
Sorry to so dense, but can you please clarif

farther than that.)
However, here's the problem:

Cannot create file ./simple-epa-howto.dbk.
at /usr/share/perl5/DebianDoc_SGML/Format/XML.pm line 149.
Thoughts, anyone?

That was the problem. Thanks much.

So zero makes the condition '$char = getc(INPUT)' evaluate to false, dumping
the flow down to closing the file. What's the perl equivalent of WHILE NOT

Is there any way to coax debiandoc2pdf (or 2dvi or 2ps or 2latex) to
not insert blank pages, say after the toc, or after a chapter ends?
I'm running unstable and just updated debiandoc-sgml to 1.1.81.
