Re: [docbook-apps] Image location

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@googlemail.com>]

Hello Markus and Dean,

thanks for your replies. Based on your feedback I was able to find my issue. It seems that the path is relative to the Apache Ant build.xml I'm using and to the .fo file which is processed by the build.xml file.

If I put the graphics relativ to the build.xml (which I keep separated from the content) everything works.

The Ant File I'm currently using is:

---------------

<target name="build-pdf" depends="clean, copybookimage,  xinclude" description="Generates pdf files from DocBook XML">

<!-- Convert DocBook Files into FO -->

<xslt style="${fo.stylesheet}" extension=".fo" basedir="${outputtmp.dir}" destdir="${fobtmp.dir}">

<include name="**/*/article.xml" />

<param name="section.autolabel" _expression_="1" />

<param name="page.margin.inner" _expression_="1cm" />

<param name="page.margin.outer" _expression_="1cm" />

<param name="body.start.indent" _expression_="0mm" />

<param name="double-sided" _expression_="1" />

<param name="paper.type" _expression_="A4" />

</xslt>

<!-- Convert FO Files into pdf -->

<fop format="application/pdf" outdir="${pdf.dir}">

<fileset dir="${fobtmp.dir}">

<include name="**/*.fo" />

</fileset>

</fop>

</target>

--------------

Is there a way to tell the fop Ant Task to use a path relativ to the .fo file is processes? 

Best regards, Lars

Lars,

 

Setting the "image.src.path" parameter would eliminate a need to prefix the path on all images. However, that doesn't seem to be your problem. Everything you stated/done should be working. The FO code looks right and it does seem to fit the file structure.

 

I am assuming that you are under a Linux/Unix OS. That said, I would look at the upper/lower case filenames located in your images directory and make sure they correspond with how you called them in the XML code.. My users are Windows and Linux and we constantly run in to case issues that show up under Linux but not Windows.

 

As you can tell, we are now "reaching" a bit for the solution for you. Maybe the exact error from FOP would help?

 

Regards,

Dean Nelson

Hi,

my directory setup is usually as follows (somewhat simplified):

~/mydoc/mydoc.xml
~/mydoc/Makefile
~/mydoc/images/myimage.png

mydoc.xml then uses relative paths to specify the image:

<imagedata align="center" scale="50" format="PNG"
            fileref="images/myimage.png"/>

Makefile is set up to invoke xsltproc and fop as needed. In order to 
transform this document, I cd to ~/mydoc and run make pdf. That's 
about it.

regards,
Markus
