RE: [docbook-apps] Olinking for PDF generates absolute path

Hi Bob,

thanks, you are absolutely right it was only an artifact of the PDF reader.
Sorry, for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I believe what you are seeing is an artifact of the PDF reader.  There is nothing in the XSL that generates a full path for the olinks.  If you generate a .fo file and examine it, you'll see relative paths in the olinks before being converted to PDF.

Try moving the files to a new location and see if the displayed path changes, and if the links work.
