<h2><a name="Reporting">Reporting bugs and getting help</a></h2>
-<p>Well, bugs or missing features are always possible, and I will make a
-point of fixing them in a timely fashion. The best way to report a bug is to
-use the <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxslt">Gnome
-bug tracking database</a> (make sure to use the "libxslt" module name). I
-look at reports there regularly and it's good to have a reminder when a bug
-is still open. Check the <a
-href="http://bugs.gnome.org/Reporting.html">instructions on reporting
-bugs</a> and be sure to specify that the bug is for the package libxslt.</p>

<p>There is also a mailing-list <a

<p>Alternatively, you can just send the bug to the <a

-related I will approve it.. Please do not send me mail directly especially
-for portability problem, it makes things really harder to track and in some

-instead. <strong>Do not send code, I won't debug it</strong> (but patches are

<li>make sure you can reproduce the bug with xsltproc, a very useful thing
to do is run the transformation with -v argument and redirrect the
standard error to a file, then search in this file for the transformation
