Preparing a stylesheet for HTML and PDF Output/ Stating the base.dir for HTML and PDF: How can you define the base.dir PDF, using the same relative path as used for HTML

[daniel.keyes@finaris.de]

Hey,



Currently we are finalizing our HTML stylesheet
for DocBook. Since our documents are to be released as HTML and PDF and
our documentation consists of about 20 different documents with more than
1000 pages total, we need to find a way to state a relative path in our
stylesheet as the base.dir that will work out for both. We do not want
to store all files, PDF and HTML, in the same folder. What we need is a
nice and easy way to define where the output is to be stored.

For HTML we used <xsl:param name="base.dir"
select="concat($webhelp.base.dir,'/content/')"/>.
This won´t work for PDF.

We had a similar problem with the role
attribute regarding screenshots that had to be scaled differently according
if we had a PDF or HTML output , but we managed to define "when to
use what".

Is there any solution for our problem?









Greetings,

Daniel Keyes
