I have an XML document which transforms without any problem to
the default <base   > in html chunked output
    /var/www/html/out/html-chunks/index.html and all the ar* files

I want to access this via a link to this index.html from a differentdirectory: e.g. cd /var/www/html then


ln -s /var/www/html/project/out/html-chunks/index.html index.html

It seems that this picks up a default base from /var/www/html/ link, andother links start to fail.

Putting a <base href="http://some.domain.com/out/html-chunks/";target="_blank">

into the index.html puts everything right, the link works OK.

BUT I can't see how to modify the Docbook XML to make the output of thechunked index.html contain a <base > in the <head> section:

<html><head>
<base href="http://some.domain.com/out/html-chunks/"; target="_blank">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
   <title>  etc.
</head>

Can anyone tell me how to do this - if it is possible in XML to setsomething in the <head> section
