Re: [docbook-apps] Website makefiles and xml source arrangement


Hi Doug,
You get the message about the current.docid when you use a <sitemap> element
in the olink database.  When a sitemap element is used, you can put your
output in different directories, and the current.docid is needed to compute
the path from one directory to the other.  It cannot assume that the
top-level element id is the same as the current.docid.

The database that is automatically generated by webside (named
website.database.xml) does not include a sitemap element, it just has a flat
list of documents.  Did you add the sitemap to website.database.xml, or are
you also using a regular olink database that has it?
