Re: [docbook-apps] OPF file for EPUB is linking to images with differentroles

Thanks Bob,

I had a play around with the epub/docbook.xsl and managed to get it 
working.

I am not sure if it's 100% correct, but below is my modified custom 
template for handling mediaobject:

<xsl:template match="d:mediaobject|d:mediaobjectco|d:inlinemediaobject" 
mode="opf.manifest">
<xsl:variable name="olist" select="d:imageobject|d:imageobjectco"/>

<!-- Glenn McDonald: Limit the mediaobject to the one that matches our 
role -->

<xsl:variable name="object.index">
<xsl:call-template name="select.mediaobject.index">
<xsl:with-param name="olist" select="$olist"/>
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="object" select="$olist[position() = $object.index]"/>

<!-- Glenn McDonald: replaced d:imageobject with $object as defined 
above -->

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$object/d:imagedata[@format = 'GIF' or
                                             @format = 'GIF87a' or
                                             @format = 'GIF89a' or
                                             @format = 'JPEG' or
                                             @format = 'JPG' or
                                             @format = 'PNG' or
                                             @format = 'SVG']">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$object[d:imagedata[@format = 'GIF' or
                                                          @format = 
'GIF87a' or
                                                          @format = 
'GIF89a' or
                                                          @format = 
'JPEG' or
                                                          @format = 'JPG' or
                                                          @format = 'PNG' or
                                                          @format = 
'SVG']][1]/d:imagedata"
                              mode="opf.manifest"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$object/d:imagedata[1]" mode="opf.manifest"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,

Glenn
