   As for the document appearing on stdout, that's the usual for the
SGML backend, unless (as in the case of Norm's DocBook stylesheets)
the output is explicitly directed to a file.
   I'm not sure what the nature of the "basic.dsl" file that you're
using is, but I'd guess that it's not derived from Norm's sheets.
Also, Jade doesn't have a concept of a "default" stylesheet.
   If you want to customize Norm's HTML stylesheet, look at
"notoc.dsl" or "plain.dsl" in the print stylesheet directory for
examples.  You just need to change these to point to the HTML
stylesheet, instead, then go about customizing.
