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

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

Try the version of common/common.xsl in CVS now.  It wasn't recursing like
it was supposed to.

Also, if you are using xsltproc, be sure to use a version based on libxml2
version 2.6.11 or later.  There was a bug in xml:base processing in versions
before that.
