Re: [docbook-apps] how to set relative paths for HTML image directory?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Robert,
Did you set the stylesheet parameter keep.relative.image.uris to zero?  The default 
value in the html stylseheet is 1, and that value should preserve whatever the fileref 
value is without messing with it.
