Re: [docbook-apps] epub, db2epub.py & "system cannot find the path specified"

[Giuseppe Bonelli <peppo.bonelli@gmail.com>]

Hi Robert,
try using local paths in your xsl:imports.

In Oxygen confirm the main xsl is found by hitting enter key while the
cursor is on the xsl URI. Oxygen should open the xsl file in a new
tab.

You have a local copy of the docbook stock stylesheets under [oxygen
install dir]\Oxygen XML Editor 12\frameworks\docbook.
