Hi BenoƮt,

I want to inform you of dblatex Debian BTS report #627501 [1], wich asks
for a more detailled explanation of the description of option --xsl-user
in the manual page and in the user manual:

       -p xsl_user, --xsl-user=xsl_user
           An XSL user stylesheet to use. Several user stylesheets can be
           specified, but the option order is meaningful.

According to my understanding it works as follows:

If the command line is "-p user_1.xsl -p user_2.xsl" where user_1.xsl
sets option A to value B and user_2.xsl sets option A to value C, the
effective value of option A is C.

It's quite difficult to express this in a compact way, perhaps something
like this:

In case of contradictive option settings in different user stylesheets
the stylesheet specified later on the command line takes precedence.

You might also want to consider the suggestion Osamu made [2], although
his remark about parsing order IMHO is too technical.
