[docbook-apps] Re: Stylesheets can't find bibliography collection

[Nick Hunt <nick at magmouse dot demon dot co dot uk>]

Hi Bob,

All my other catalog stuff works fine, so I don't think it is that.

In any case, I only tried to reference the bibliography collection  
through a catalog entry when it would work with a direct file  
reference, e.g. :

<xsl:param  
name="bibliography.collection">biblio_database.xml</xsl:param>

After a bit more experimenting, I find that the stylesheets are always  
using the value of the bibliography parameter relative to the folder  
the stylesheet is in. Thus with the above parameter value, I need to  
put the file in the HTML folder of the stylesheets (for HTML build).

This is true irrespective of whether the path given is relative (as  
above) or absolute, as in:

<xsl:param  
name="bibliography.collection">/Users/nhunt/Documents/PhD_stuff/html/ 
xml/bibliography/biblio_database.xml</xsl:param>


Another datum: if I override the bibliography template in my style  
sheet driver, then it looks for the collection file relative to where  
my driver file is.

I presume that the correct behaviour would be for the stylesheet to  
look for the collection file relative to where the docbook document  
being processed is. Do other people see this?


Best wishes,

Nick.
