On Windows %p does not work for me, only file:///%P or file:\\\%P works. When converting to PDF, HTML etc, I've customised xslMenu.incl to use stylesheets found in the same directory location as the document you're trying to convert.
When using file:///%P to specify the location of the stylesheets, it works as expected: Transforming XML file "__doc.xml" to "__doc.fo" using "file:///C:\CTC_Benchbook/stylesheets/fo/mystyle.xsl" Compiling style sheet "file:/C:/CTC_Benchbook/stylesheets/fo/mystyle.xsl" When using %p I get the error "Command execution has failed": Transforming XML file "__doc.xml" to "__doc.fo" using "file:/C:/CTC_Benchbook/stylesheets/fo/mystyle.xsl" Compiling style sheet "file://SAURON/C:/CTC_Benchbook/stylesheets/fo/mystyle.xsl" SAURON is the server name where my customisations live, ie in F:\.windata\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor\addon\config\docbook\, where the F drive is mapped to \\SAURON\username\.
