You will need to address the paths via a relative path (i.e. "subsect/../../img"). It looks like you have done that but you may also think about using XSLTPROC with the xinclude option. This may be a better option. You could also try using a catalog to resolve the names _http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Catalogs.html_ (http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Catalogs.html) Regards, Dean Nelson In a message dated 12/16/2009 10:02:17 A.M.

For shared images, your life and book generation will be much improved with a simpler directory structure. In the following suggestion, chapter files in both the Admin and User books have the same path to the shared image files. /docs | |_ /admin |___| admin-only-chapter |___| shared-chapter |_ /img |_ /user |___| user-only-chapter This benefits authoring (if your authoring tool displays images in place), and benefits book generation for both HTML and PDF output targets.

I think a somehow similar issue already has been discussed in October but I couldn't find useful hints there. What I have is a administrator manual from which I derive a user manual by creating a new <book> in a different directory and then pull the relevant parts and chapters via xinclude. Structure looks like this (simplified): /docs |_ /admin | |_/img | | | |_/content | | | |_/subsect | |_ /user The files in content and subsect each have <informalfigure> elements pointing to "../img" respectively to "../../img". My tool chain starts with xmllint to resolve the xincludes followed by using saxon 6.5.2 to do the transformation into xsl-fo. What happens is that after the xsl transformation the @fileref of the "innermost" graphic looks like this: "file:///e:/temp/xinclude-test/admin/admin/admin/_img/note.png" which is obviously plain wrong in the triple "admin" part. Formatter would be Antenna House 4.2 I tried fiddling around with different versions of the docbook stylesheets, avoiding the use of my customization layers, but the result was always the same. I also looked into the (what I think) relevant templates of common.xsl where @fileref is dealt with. I have uploaded my test files (http://uploaded.to/file/sh9jus) because I wasn't sure if attachments are welcome on this list. Thanks in advance for any clues!
