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.
