Is there a way to reference files > relative to the root directory of the website (as opposed > to the root directory of the server)? Currently, no. But this would make a fine feature request. The Website stylesheets include a template named 'root-rel-path' that computes a relative path for each dir value. It is currently used to form links to the toc icons, css file, and admonition graphics. But alas, it isn't used for imagedata paths, in fact, the stock DocBook XSL imagepath templates are used in Website. But it probably wouldn't be hard to customize the 'mediaboject.filename' template to use it, with a suitable parameter to turn the feature on. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
