Re: [docbook-apps] Dealing with xml:base when processing ulinks to html

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

The next release of the XSL stylesheets will resolve xml:base attributes
inserted by XIncludes, but only for references to graphics files.  The ulink
url is never processed by the stylesheet because it doesn't know anything
about the url.

If you want to customize it to do so, you could take a look at the template
named 'relative-uri' in common/common.xsl in the CVS tree, or wait for the
next release.

It seems that you are using ulink for creating links between pages in
your website. But for this purpose you should use olink that is able to
produce correct links.
