Re: [docbook-apps] Problems with XInclude and images

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

In your ant build file, what process is being used to resolve the 
XIncludes?  Is there a separate step that creates a temporary XML file with 
XIncludes resolved before the stylesheet is applied?  If so, then you can 
examine the xml:base attributes in it to see if those are correct.  If they 
are not correct, then the XInclude processor has a problem.  If they are 
correct, then the stylesheet has a problem.
