Re: [docbook-apps] Getting an rcsdate value from outside

You could customize the template named 'rcsdate.format' in
website-common.xsl.  It is used to populate the footer, and currently it
just returned the config param value.  But you could modify it to check a
new parameter that you set on the command line when you run the process:

<xsl:template name="rcsdate.format">
  <xsl:param name="rcsdate" select="./config[@param='rcsdate']/@value"/>
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$myrcsdate != ''">
      <xsl:value-of select="$myrcsdate"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$rcsdate"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
