AW: AW: [docbook-apps] Problem with images given as entity in xhtml output (template process.image)

["Frank Steimke" <f-steimke@berger-und-steimke.de>]

Thank you Jirka,

actually i am not shure wheter there is a bug, and, if so, i fit is in the stylesheets or in the xslt engine. But the answer should definitively not depend on my own definition of correctness, since this may vary from time to time ...

I will try to get some help from the oxygen guys.

Thanks,
Frank

You shouldn't use absolute filenames because that way your documents are not portable.

It depends on your definition of correctness. At least for Windows paths there are several common ways how to construct URL, e.g. file:///c/..., file:/c:/..., file:///c|/...

Absolute file URLs are mess, very different on each operating system.
But if there is a bug, please feel free to submit bugreport.
