RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Problem with images when generating HTML output ...

The stylesheets don't add extensions to match the format.  They assume the
filename is correct and use the format as part of the mediaobject selection
mechanism.  In order to do what you want, you'd have to copy and customize
the template named "process.image" in graphics.xsl.

I am a little confused as to why you want to have the stylesheets generate
an extension and how your FO processor is working fine without the
extension.  The fileref attribute should be a valid URI to a file, including
the extension.  Could you provide a bit more information on the problem you
were having that caused you to drop the .png extension?

Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Problem with images when generating HTML
output...


Hi Guys,

I need to generate PDF, PS, and HTML output
from my DocBook documents.

To include images into my documents, I normally
write something like this:

...
<mediaobject>
  <imageobject>
    <imagedata fileref="myImageFile" format="PNG"/>
  </imageobject>
  <textobject>
    <phrase>My text</phrase>
  </textobject>
</mediaobject>
...

I omit the file extension (.png) in the fileref
attribute in order to let the processor to generate
PDF as well PS output correctly (this works fine).

Well, as soon as I try to generate HTML output,
I get some troubles. In fact, the generated
HTML output for the statements above is

...
<div class="mediaobject">
  <img src="myImageFile" alt="My text">
</div>
...

As you can see, the file extension (.png) is
missing...

I'm using XSL stylesheets V 1.58.1.

Have you any idea?
