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.
I make a copy of the template. Then, i put in ./help/en_US the main xml 
file (etc for other languages),
I set the current directory to the root dir of the template, and run
--> tbx_make . help  // (*)
Then i display the HTML page in Chrome, preview the printing in PDF, 
tune its layout, and that's OK.

Why on your side does it fail to generate the html? Any error message in 
the terminal?
