Yes, the PDF generator is KO. This is reported for years now.
But HTML pages can be well generated.

            Not sure this does what you expect, but I think pandoc can
            do the trick: <br>
            foo.xml copied from : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

  <br>
            pandoc -f docbook -t latex foo.xml -o foo.pdf <br>

          OK, but you need the Scilab stylesheets in order to have the
          correct output. I suppose the above assumes a basic rendering.
          My question was rather about doing this within Scilab. The
          example of the help page does not work on my machine for html
          and pdf output. <br>
        </blockquote>
        <br>
        To do this, i have created a template toolbox restricted to
        ./etc/page.start (void), ./help/la_LA series of languages
        subdirs, and ./jar empty.<br>
        I make a copy of the template. Then, i put in ./help/en_US the
        main xml file (etc for other languages),<br>
        I set the current directory to the root dir of the template, and
        run<br>
        <tt>--&gt; tbx_make . help  // (*)</tt><br>
        Then i display the HTML page in Chrome, preview the printing in
        PDF, tune its layout, and that's OK.<br>
        <br>
        Why on your side does it fail to generate the html? Any error
        message in the terminal?<br>

      <p>When I run the example of xmltopdf help page, all generated pdf
