Re: [docbook-apps] "html.stylesheet" parameter in the xhtml5 Stylesheets

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

Hi Jirka,
Actually, I should have clarified that I did that for the custom.css.source file, 
which the stylesheets reference relative to the XML document, not the stylesheets:

   <xsl:variable name="css.node" select="document($custom.css.source,.)/*[1]"/>

The docbook.css.source file is referenced relative to the XSL files:

   <xsl:variable name="css.node" select="document($docbook.css.source)/*[1]"/>

Note that the first example's document() function has two arguments.  If there is no 
second argument, then the document() function looks in the same location as the XSL 
file containing the function.  If the second argument is ".",  then it is taken 
relative to the location of the current document node.

Bob, how do you manage to have this file along your source XML files not
in the directory with DocBook XSL stylesheets distribution? I got quite
strange behaviour when I set docbook.css.source parameter to absolute path.

Thanks,
