Sure. the process command which is used to convert DocBook to HTML does
its work in a temporary directory (e.g. /tmp/xxe12339876).
Your rules/ subdirectory is created there, containing the proper files.
At the end of the process command (called docb.toHTML), an <upload>
element is used to copy the output of the conversion to the actual
target directory.
You need to customize this <upload> element to make it copy your rules/
subdirectory along with the other files.
For that (quick and dirtly solution), use a text editor and open
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl.
* Go to process command docb.toHTML.
* You'll find:
---
<command name="docb.toHTML">
<process>
<mkdir dir="resources" />
...
<!-- The real HTML file is index.html -->
<delete files="__doc.*" />
<upload base="%0/">
<copyFiles files="*.*" toDir="." />
<copyFiles files="resources/*" toDir="resources" />
<copyFiles files="images/*" toDir="images" />
</upload>
</process>
</command>
---
* Simply add (I assume that the rules/ subdirectory is automatically
created by the XSLT style sheet):
---
<copyFiles files="rules/*" toDir="rules" />
---
after:
---
<copyFiles files="*.*" toDir="." />
