Re: [docbook-apps] Preparing a stylesheet for HTML and PDF Output/ Stating the base.dir for HTML and PDF: How can you define the base.dir PDF, using the same relative path as used for HTML

[Peter Desjardins <peter.desjardins.us@gmail.com>]

When I create FO for PDF, I pass the -o argument to Saxon. This is a
relative path to the directory that I want the FO file in.

Does that help?
