Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: xsltproc and xsl:include

[Vince Thomas <vpthoma at us dot ibm dot com>]

Many thanks. I took your first suggestion (I'm a reluctant Windows user, I
use Linux at home).
I agree that it does look kind of odd in the bat file though, something
that people will trip over again and again.
Of course I blame Bill Gates for having the vision to make Windows
compatible with CP/M rather than Unix :)

  Seems to be a classic problem of using Windows path for URI-References
Libxml won't do the conversion from:
   c:\docbook-xsl\html\chunk.xsl
   to
   file:///c:/docbook-xsl/html/chunk.xsl

 which then could be used to apply the algorith from RFC 2396 to build
the URI to the included or imported file.

 There is 2 ways to get this fixed:
   - check that you use valid URIs to point to things
   - provide bug reports on the libxslt (or libxml) lists and
     see if this can get fixed in a more general fashion [*]

[*] someone had the same trouble for libxml validation I think 2 days ago
    and fixing his paths solved the problem, but trying to change the
    mind of Windows users may get tiring at the end and a complete fix
    should probably be incorporated in libxml when compiled on Windows..
