In your ant build file, what process is being used to resolve the XIncludes? Is there a separate step that creates a temporary XML file with XIncludes resolved before the stylesheet is applied? If so, then you can examine the xml:base attributes in it to see if those are correct. If they are not correct, then the XInclude processor has a problem. If they are correct, then the stylesheet has a problem.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Problems with XInclude and images


Hi,

we are setting up docbook for documenting our project. So far everythings goes well. There is just on issue with which I am struggling: When using images in document parts which are included by "XInclude" the XSLT-Stylesheet seems to apply the xml:base twice!

The project is layouted like this:

main.xml
|--------first-steps
| |-------pictures
| |-------first-steps.xml

(and so on)

The picture should be stored in first-steps/pictures. When writing the document "first-steps.xml" we use the following docbook part to include an image:

<graphic fileref="pictures/login.jpg"/>

Which works nicely - as long we don't XInclude the first-steps.xml in the main.xml

As I understand one should set the XSLT-Option "keep.relative.image.uris" to "1" so that the xml:base values are applied. When doing so, we get HTML output which is like:

<img src=first-steps/first-steps/pictures/login.jpg>

When transforming to PDF output an error occurs that the picture "first-steps/first-steps/pictures/login.jpg" cannot be found.

Obviously the xml:base attribute has been applied twice.

So, what am I missing here? Is there a general error?

I am using docbook-xsl-1.73.2 and Ant 1.7 to generate the documents.

Does someone has an idea what is missing?

In hope for an hint
Tino
