Re: [docbook-apps] Image location

Hello,

I found the parameter "keep.relative.image.uris" which reduces my complexity. This way I have to copy the images only to one location relatively to the build.xml. I would be still nicer if I could configure the FOP task to use a  path relative to the .fo file but I assume this is not really a question for the docbook mailing list.

Thanks to everyone.

Best regards, Lars

Hi Tom,

I would prefer if the path could just be relative to the .fo file. Introducing a xml catalog and a new re-write rule seems unnecessary complex. 

I could fix it within my ant tasks copying the images into the build project but this doesn't not seem like a solid solution to me. 

Best regards, Lars

Have you tried xml catalog with the prefix rewrite rule to generate

fo?  That has solved a lot of path problems for me.  Of course I'm

using xsltproc with which that is easy--don't know if an ant and

whatever tool chain will work.

Best,
