docbook-apps

Hi,

I'm currently using an absolute path for the syntax highlighting
configuration file. As I'm switching between computers back and forth I
would like to make this relative.

Currently:

expression="file:///C:/Users/vogella/workspace/vogella/de.vogella.docbook.first/docbook-xsl-1.76.1/highlighting/xslthl-config.xml"
/>

I did not manage to make the system accept a relative path. Can someone
please share an example?

Best regards, Lars

I have the same problem, moving content from my disk to website.
My only solution was to have a common (absolute) address to use
in my case it was /dir/dir/file
If you can be assured of having the file on the same disk, this
solution will work for you. c: is redundant in a java world,
as is the file:/// prefix.

Hello Dave,

thanks for the tip. This would also work but as an Apache Ant user, I think
Jirkas tips fit better to my setup.

Best regards, Lars

I don't remember details, but there were some problems with relative
paths which I don't recall now. But as it seems that you are using Ant,
you can use its features to convert relative path into absolute URL,
something like


<property name="xslthl.config" value=".../xslthl-config.xml"/>
<makeurl file="${xslthl.config}" property="xslthl.config.url"/>

and then
