Hi Syd, It is not that complicated, an example always help: imagine you have a structure like below: main.xhtml report/ report/report1.xhtml report/image1.jpeg and main.xhtml includes through xi:include report/report1.xhtml report1.xhtml has a reference to image1.jpeg <img src="image1.jpeg"/> After processing the includes in main.xhtml it will result a document that will contain also the content of report1.xhtml. That will have as base folder the same folder as main.xhtml. The included content is not changed, that is it will still contain <img src="image1.jpeg"/>. If there will be no xml:base added then that will point to a non existing image. Adding an xml:base pointing to report1.xhtml will allow to correctly resolve the image reference to the report/image1.jpeg location.

Thank you, George. I've read your mail (twice) and http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/#base as well, and I think I get it. _______________________________________________ oXygen-user mailing list oXygen-user@oxygenxml.com http://www.oxygenxml.com/mailman/listinfo/oxygen-user
