Subject: Re: [docbook] References to external files relative to xml:base?
You are correct, the stylesheet should make use of xml:base to resolve those paths. I've been working on fixing that, but didn't get it done in time for the 1.65 release. It's a little tricky because xincludes can be nested, with different xml:base values that must be followed in sequence. I'll make the fix available soon.

Question/proposal: Similarly to XIncludes, shouldn't all references (by relative paths) to external files (imagedata fileref etc.) be evaluated relative to xml:base? Currently, when I xi:include components from another directory, I have to link any files referenced from those comonents to the current directory. I think, for consistency with XInclude, this should not be necessary. If I understand things correctly, then this would involve collecting xml:base attributes from the entire ancestry of the given node, and concatenating them appropriately. Is there a canonical way to do this? An XSLT template would be most welcome :-). The question above is a DocBook question, while the implementation concerns docbook-apps. Perhaps responses should be cross-posted? Thanks, Justus -- Justus H.
