AW: [docbook-apps] Problems with <?dbhtml> and graphics.

["Christian-Josef Schrattenthaler" <christian-josef@schrattenthaler.com>]

Hi!

'keep.relative.image.uris' works, but I don't understand the xml:base
attribute. I looked for it, and I found out, that I can use it in the most
situations (e.g. by the book, bookinfo and graphic elements).

Please can you give me an example, how to use the xml:base attribute, so
that it works for me?

Thanks,
Christian.

I think it will work if you set the keep.relative.image.uris parameter to 0.
The default value is 1, which means that relative image URIs are left
untouched. See
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/keep.relative.im
age.uris.html

In HTML files that are written to subdirectories, image URIs will be
prepended by one "../" string for each directory level.

Your source document has no explicit base URI (there is no xml:base
attribute), and I think the parameter documentation could be clearer about
what the interpretation is in this case. A source document always has a base
URI, but unless it is specified with an xml:base attribute, you don't have
access to it in XSLT 1.0.
