RE: [docbook-apps] Problem with images given as entity in xhtml output (template process.image)
Hi all, I am (I think) trying to accomplish the same thing as Frank. I have multiple docs which use the same copy, but require different figures. I was hoping to define those figures in entity files so they would be easier to maintain. The references do not appear to be making it into the docs. This all sounds like what I am trying to do, but not being very familiar, I was hoping someone might offer a high-level explanation of how this is all working? Then perhaps I can understand the presented solutions. -Original Message- From: Jirka Kosek [mailto:ji...@kosek.cz] Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2014 9:34 AM To: Frank Steimke Cc: docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Problem with images given as entity in xhtml output (template process.image) On 22.5.2014 16:05, Frank Steimke wrote: I have an article with an image.

Then perhaps I can understand the presented solutions. First advice -- try to eliminate usage of entities in your documents. In XML entities will give you more troubles then advantages (situation was different in SGML where entities were more flexible). In your case, you can put each set of images into different directory, but using same filenames. Then use following parameter to switch directory from which images will be loaded: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/img.src.path.html Jirka -- -- Jirka Kosek e-mail: ji...@kosek.cz http://xmlguru.cz -- Professional XML consulting and training services DocBook customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing -- OASIS DocBook TC member, W3C Invited Expert, ISO JTC1/SC34 rep. -- Bringing you XML Prague conferencehttp://xmlprague.cz -- signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I inherited my setup and am having to learn XML on the fly while trying not to fall to far behind in the actual work! Do you have any suggested reading? You should definitively read the following book if you mean it seriously with using DocBook XSL stylesheets: http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html Back to your question. In your document you will use just filenames without any path: imagedata fileref=picture.png/ Then in subdirectories like version1 and version2 you will store two different versions of this image, both times in a file called picture.png Then during the processing you will set img.src.path parameter either to version1/ or version2/ value. You can set parameter from command line when invoking XSLT processor or you can store it into your own XSL customization layer. More details are in the book mentioned above. Jirka Thanks again!
