Dave,
I have a pretty simple system that assumes a directory structure like this:
xml files
xml files\images
1. When I publish FO the PDF lands in "xml files".
2. When I publish HTML:
- I set the "output" directory to "xml files\html"
- I copy the images from "xml files\images" to "xml files\html\images"
by a batch file generated by XSLT <see below>
- I copy the Docbook images from where they are to "xml
files\html\images\docbook_images" and point the admon.graphics.path to
"images\docbook_images". As a result the "html" dir tree is portable and
can go anywhere since the paths for the images are relative.
3. I have found out that MSHELP only embeds images that it needs and not
the whole directory.
That would work with Larrys 'top level' target too though Dean,
so still useful.
I use a template file for collecting the images that are used in the
book. It generates a batch file with the files named for copying. Then I
run the batch as the final part of the processing. Since I maintain both
Windows and Linux, a similar one is used for Linux.
I also copy the navigation images and the Docbook images in the batch
file that calls this one.
Does this create a batch file, or is it called by a batch file?
It seems restricted to only certain images, I guess it would
need extending to all images, but no sweat.
Looks like the latter? I.e. method='text'
Thanks Dean, again, OK if I steal the ideas please?
regards DaveP

In the XML source? That makes the xslt easier.
This is getting interesting!
(I'm starting a write up about it btw, bare bones so far)
