|  No, actually, I think chunking is what I want- I want to

Yes, that's what chunking means, and Website is a special type of chunked
output. But you are working with what I dubbed "regular chunked output". One
of the parameters that you tried was "output-root", which only works for
Website output.


|  base.dir doesn't work either. Am I doing this right?  I put 
|  this just 
|  above the <xsl:include href="chunk-code.xsl"/> line in my modified 
|  chunk.xsl file (chunkohp.xsl):
|  
|  <xsl:param name="base.dir" select="/www/mfsite/docbook"></xsl:param>
  

You need to put a trailing slash at the very end of the path.

Also, since getting a clean chunking customization working can be a bit
tricky, you might want to look at this reference:
