Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Saxon 6.4.3 MalformedURLException error

[Gershon L Joseph <gershon@mainsoft.com>]

Thanks, that solves the problem. I forgot I had removed the file:// part
of the URL for Omnimark. Now I get the following error:

Error on line 7 of
file:/C:\tools\docbook\docbook-xsl-1.45\htmlhelp\htmlhelp.xsl
:
  java.io.FileNotFoundException: \html\chunk.xsl
Transformation failed: Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.

The problem line reads:
<xsl:import href="../html/chunk.xsl"/>

So I tried changing it to:
<xsl:import href="file://../html/chunk.xsl"/>

which then generates the following error:

Error on line 7 of
file:/C:\tools\docbook\docbook-xsl-1.45\htmlhelp\htmlhelp.xsl
:
  java.net.UnknownHostException: ..
Transformation failed: Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.

Saxon thinks ".." is a hostname !

Is there a way to tell Saxon in which directories to look for imported
files? I know Jade has an option (-D I think) for this.

Any ideas where to go from here?

TIA,


Gershon
