cannot build release-notes.txt of wireshark sources

The original bug report can be found here http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1446
In short: If I try to build that file from the svn repo of
wireshark (formerly: ethereal)
it doesn't produce simple text output. Instead it looks like
an HTML page.

I use a stable Gentoo system with these packages:

www-client/lynx-2.8.6-r2
app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.70.1
dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.20
dev-java/fop-0.93-r1

I have to correct my last mail:

Under Cygwin/Windows XP lynx-2.8.5rel3 works fine with that
file,

Under Gentoo Linux neither 2.8.5rel1, 2.8.5rel3, 2.8.6rel4
nor 2.8.7dev7 works :-(

No, I run into an issue while creating a txt file from a xml
file within the svn
repo of wireshark. This has nothing to do with wireshark
itself.

Unfortunately this doesn't help. The problem (at least at my
linux system) is,
that lynx produces txt-output only if I view a web page like
:

$>lynx -dump -width=72 -nolist lynx.browser.org

The above works, however anything like

$> "xsltproc" --stringparam generate.toc
"article nop" --nonet http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/cu
rrent/html/docbook.xsl release-notes.xml > out; lynx
-dump -stdin <out  

doesn't work, regardless whether I use a pipe between
xsltproc and lynx or not :-(

TRY THIS:

| "XSLTPROC" --STRINGPARAM GENERATE.TOC
"ARTICLE NOP" --NONET 
|
HTTP://DOCBOOK.SOURCEFORGE.NET/RELEASE/XSL/CURRENT/HTML/DOCB
OOK.XSL 
| RELEASE-NOTES.XML >OUT.HTM; LYNX -DUMP OUT.HTM

IF THIS WORKS, I€™VE GOT AN IDEA.
