Re: [docbook-apps] ePub TOC question

Hi Eric,
I don't get that output with the stock stylesheets.  You are getting this behavior 
because your customization expands 'generate.toc' to include figure, table, etc., and 
you set chunk.separate.lots=1, right?

The "./" comes from the utility template named 'make-relative-filename' in 
xhtml-1_1/chunker.xsl.  I'm not sure why it is "./" instead of just blank, but that 
template is used in many contexts and I would not change that.

However, you can work around it for this case by customizing the template named 
'make.lot.chunk' in chunk-common.xsl.  When it is computing the variable named 'href' 
for a lot, it calls 'make-relative-filename' without the 'base.dir' param, because the 
generated lot is in the same directory as the main toc.  When 'base.dir' is not 
specified, you get the default "./", which is actually correct as a pathname and seems 
to work in contexts other than validation of epub documents, it seems.

You can modify that call to add a template param:

<xsl:variable name="href">
 <xsl:call-template name="make-relative-filename">
   <!-- Add this param with empty string value -->
   <xsl:param name="base.dir" select="''"/>
  etc.

That eliminates the "./" from the lot references, and should not affect other 
instances of 'make-relative-filename'.
