RE: [docbook-apps] Catalog related problem

["Dick Hamilton" <rlhamilton@frii.com>]

Bob,

Thanks for the suggestion.  After sifting through an amazing
amount of output:-), I figured it out.  I'll describe it here
both to confirm the diagnosis and because someone else may run
into the same situation.

The catalog.xml file for 1.72.0 defines rewrite rules that
rewrite URIs from:

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/

to:

file:/path-to-stylesheets/1.72.0

where path-to-stylesheets is the path to the directory that
contains your DocBook stylesheets (e.g., on my system it's
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh)

In 1.70.1, the website chunk-tabular.xsl, chunk-website.xsl,
and website-common.xsl files import stylesheets from the html
directory by referring to:

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/xyz.xsl.

That gets remapped, and 1.72.0 stylesheets get imported instead of
the desired 1.70.1 stylesheets.  Of course, if you're always using
the latest stylesheets, this won't happen, but if you need to go
back a version, which I've had to do for websites, it's a problem.

What I've done for the time being is to replace the full http...
references in those three files with relative file references
(i.e., ../html/xyz.xsl).  I'm not sure why those references weren't
that way in the stylesheets from the start, though I suppose it's
to let you keep the website stylesheets separate from the rest of
the stylesheets.  Since I've got them together, it works fine.

So, that's what I found.  If you have any suggestions for a
better way to resolve this problem, I'd be glad to hear them.

Thanks,
Dick Hamilton
