Dave,

I do something similar also. For HTML generation, I make sure all images 
(including Docbook images) are in one place. This makes Saxon complain about 
not seeing the images, but I resolve that afterwards by copying the images to 
the publishing image directory.

However, I have a lot of images in my directories that may not only be for 
HTML, because I also produce the FO/PDF and MSHELP docs. Since I don't want to 
copy the "whole mess" I run an XSL template on my XML books to output a batch 
file with the copying instructions as to which images are actually needed and 
leaving the rest of the "mess" behind.

I also keep the filespaths in my XML relative which make portability a bit 
easier.

Regards,

Dean Nelson

- For a website, set the user parameters "navig.graphics.path", 
"admon.graphics.path" (and all other image paths) to either 
"/graphics/" or "http://graphics.example.com/";. Put all your graphics 
in that dir. 
- For your local disk, set "navig.graphics.path", 
"admon.graphics.path" (and all other image paths) to 
"/path/to/my/graphics" (or "C:\Path\To\My\Graphics"?). Put all your 
graphics in that dir. 

Personally, I just use softlinks for the images dir, but I'm not sure 
whether these are available on your platform. 

cheers, 
Remko
