Hi Robert,
Did you set the stylesheet parameter keep.relative.image.uris to zero? The default
value in the html stylseheet is 1, and that value should preserve whatever the fileref
value is without messing with it.

Subject: [docbook-apps] how to set relative paths for HTML image directory?
Hi, I'm totally stuck on a HTML path problem for images. The relative
image paths are all relative to the source image directory, not to the
output image directory (which is what I want).
I'm using xincludes, a customization layer upon the HTML chunks
stylesheet. I'm using saxon 6.5.5
My projects looks like this:
myproject
index.xml----------source files
index2.xml
web-images/ ------these are my source images
tall.jpg
wide.jpg
chunks/ -------this is where docbook puts my output
index.html
index2.html
web.css
web-images/----this is my copy of web-images folder. I put this
manually here.
tall.jpg
wide.jpg
My fileref looks like this: <imagedata role="html"
fileref="web-images/image1.jpg"/>
I want my output html files to use this kind of image reference:
<img src="web-images/tall.jpg" />
Instead I get this:
<img src="../web-images/tall.jpg" />
I've looked through the parameters:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/img.src.path.html
I would have thought setting that parameter to :
<xsl:param name="img.src.path">web-images/</xsl:param>
would have solved the problem. But instead I see that nothing has
changed in the output.
I've read the Docbook XSL book closely and still haven't figured it
out. I've also tried some parameters: html.base and other shots in the
dark (though I haven't tried entityref -- mainly because I don't
understand it--), but none seem relevant or have worked.
I'm reluctant to change my path structure because I use the same
project to generate an epub file. The db2epub.py script works
perfectly in how it handles images: it transfers all of them to a new
web-images directory.
I don't have any special docbook parameters in my customization layer
(at least not anything which would affects paths).
Is it possible that there's a bug here? Or am I missing something obvious?
