Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] XInclude, images and HTML output
In CVS there is a new parameter 'keep.relative.image.uris' which controls whether xml:base is resolved. When set to 1 (the default) then xml:base is not processed for images. If set to 0, then xml:base is processed as in 1.69.1 for HTML output. If you use the latest snapshot release, the default behavior is to not process xml:base attributes for HTML images: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Sanderson" <lists@dansanderson.com> To: <docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 6:20 PM Subject: [docbook-apps] XInclude, images and HTML output > Hi all - > > The DocBook HTML build process uses the xml:base attributes left behind by > XInclude to produce file paths to images that are relative to the original > source locations.
