There seem to be some general problems concerning external material and
the temporary directory.
First, preview of external material does not seem to work. Constructs like:
Format DocBook
Product "<graphic
fileref=\"$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.eps\"></graphic>"
UpdateFormat eps
UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.eps"
ReferencedFile docbook "$$AbsPath$$Basename.eps"
ReferencedFile docbook-xml "$$AbsPath$$Basename.eps"
FormatEnd
fail on preview, because it is looking for the exported filename, not
the mangled one in the temporary directory. Similarly, constructs like
Format Ascii
Product "$$Contents(\"$$AbsPath$$Basename.asc\")"
UpdateFormat asciichess
UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.asc"
FormatEnd
fail, for the same reason: They try to include a file in the document
directory.
