docbook-dtd-4.5b1 docbook-xsl-1.69.1 jdk-1.5.0_4, kubuntu-5.04 oXygen-6.1 saxon-6.5.4 Consider the following: <sect1 xmlns:xi="&w3XInclude;" xml:base=""> ... ... <mediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="figures/foo.gif"/> </imageobject> </mediaobject> ... ... </sect1> generates the following html: ... ... <div class="mediaobject"> <img src="file:/home/raymond/docbook/foo/file:/home/raymond/docbook/foo/figures/foo.gif"> </div> ... ... Why is the image path not relative and duplicated? Thought xml:base="" as a document root attribute would implement relative paths, but this time to no avail. Note, xml:base="" works CORRECTLY in oXygen-6.0. Is this an issue with saxon-6.5.4 ? If so, what is the process to utilize saxon-6.5.3 in oXygen-6.1 ? Help please, this issue is breaking my current project !!! Raymond
