Hi David :
I successfully went though it.
I haven't been able to reproduce that (on Ubuntu). Ant usually does ok
with spaces in paths and doesn't require you to escape spaces. What
environment are you running it in?
I'm using Ubuntu-11.10 32-bit version, Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on August 19 2011 and docbook-xsl-1.76.1.
Can you explain that what is the difference between docbook-xsl-1.76.1 and docbook-xsl-snapshot ?
Btw., it won't change anything for this problem, but I would use the
latest snapshot release when working with webhelp:
http://snapshots.docbook.org/ Much has been updated and fixed.
I tried using latest docbook-xsl-snapshot (30 March 2012) then it successfully validate the path but got stuck in another place ( build.xml -> 35 line);
Buildfile: /home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/build.xml
validate:
[xmlvalidate] 1 file(s) have been successfully validated.
clean:
[delete] Deleting directory /home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/webout
chunk:
[mkdir] Created dir: /home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/webout
BUILD FAILED
/home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/docbook-xsl-snapshot/webhelp/build.xml:35: stylesheet /home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/profiling/profile.xsl doesn't exist.
Total time: 1 minute 20 seconds
with the configurations in build.xml
<project>
<property name="input-xml" value="/home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/test.xml"/>
<property name="output-dir" value="/home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/webout"/>
<import file="/home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/docbook-xsl-snapshot/webhelp/build.xml"/>
</project>
So, I moved files inside docbook-xsl-snapshot into DocBook and run "ant webhelp". Then it successfully created output.
Also I change the 'Myfiles' into 'My files' with a space. Then also it's worked perfectly.
Thank you David for your help !.
