docbook-apps

I can't, for the life of me, get saxon to output anywhere but the local
directory. Reading the docs, I found three different params for
specifying the output directory, none of which work.

The "-o" method, (from the saxon usage prompt), which it ignores:

java -cp
"/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/extensions/saxon65.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/saxondamnit/saxon.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/xslthl-2.0.1.jar"
\
-Dhighlight.source=1 \
-Dxslthl.config="file:///www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml"
\
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o /www/mfsite/docbook/wefw ./text.xml
/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/html/chunkohp.xsl

The output-root method (from the sagehill book), which it ignores:

java -cp
"/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/extensions/saxon65.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/saxondamnit/saxon.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/xslthl-2.0.1.jar"
-Dhighlight.source=1
-Dxslthl.config="file:///www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml"
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet ./text.xml
/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/html/chunkohp.xsl
output-root=/www/mfsite/docbook/

The dir= method, which it ignores:

java -cp
"/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/extensions/saxon65.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/saxondamnit/saxon.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/xslthl-2.0.1.jar"
-Dhighlight.source=1
-Dxslthl.config="file:///www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml"
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet ./text.xml
/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/html/chunkohp.xsl
dir=/www/mfsite/docbook/

It just always outputs locally.

You are probably looking for the base.dir parameter:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/base.dir.html

It seems as if you might be confusing regular chunked output and Website
output. They are similar, but different.

See http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Chunking.html and
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Website.html.

No, actually, I think chunking is what I want- I want to make one giant
xml file rather than a bunch of smaller ones. But in the output I want
multiple html files.

base.dir doesn't work either. Am I doing this right? I put this just
above the <xsl:include href="chunk-code.xsl"/> line in my modified
chunk.xsl file (chunkohp.xsl):

<xsl:param name="base.dir" select="/www/mfsite/docbook"></xsl:param>

I also tried putting it after the line instead of before it, too.

I also tried it as

<xsl:param name="base.dir" select="/www/mfsite/docbook"/>

And the path to that directory is correct.

Yes, that's what chunking means, and Website is a special type of chunked
output. But you are working with what I dubbed "regular chunked output". One
of the parameters that you tried was "output-root", which only works for
Website output.

You need to put a trailing slash at the very end of the path.

Also, since getting a clean chunking customization working can be a bit
tricky, you might want to look at this reference:
