RE: [docbook-apps] Generating html help with Xalan

Thank Bob. That solved the
problem.

 

I have one issue left – the part
that generates web help threw an exception:

 

java -cp
"../../../src/xalan/xalan.jar;../../../src/xalan/xcercesImpl.jar;../../../src/xalan/xml-apis.jar;../../../src/x

slthl-2.0.1.jar" \

       
-Dxslthl.config="file:///E:/ongoing/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml" \

   
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process \

                -param
l10n.gentext.default.language en \

                -param
glossary.collection ../../../src/glossary.xml  \

                -param
document.name.stem manual \

                -param base.dir
manual.html-web/ -xsl ../../../src/xsl.d/myweb-chunk.xsl \

                -param
manifest.in.base.dir 1 \

                -in manual.xml

 

The error was:

Line #46; Column #83; org.apache.xml.utils.WrappedRuntimeException:
Could not find variable with the name of document.name.stem

 

It looks to me that Xalan complained
that it could not locate variable document.name.stem, but the value is passed
through command line. 

 

The line 46 has the following
contents:

 

  $pagedata['product'] =
'</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="$document.name.stem"
/><xsl:text>';

 

The above worked when the
processor was xsltproc.

 

Thanks,

Sherwood

Hi,

The
'manifest.in.base.dir' parameter can do what you want.  See:

Generating html help with Xalan

 

I recently converted our doc building system to use Xalan-J
with most recent version stylesheet (1.75.2). I ran into a problem when
creating htmlhelp files.

 

java -cp
"../../../src/xalan/xalan.jar;../../../src/xalan/xcercesImpl.jar;../../../src/xalan/xml-apis.jar;../../../src/x

slthl-2.0.1.jar" \

       
-Dxslthl.config="file:///E:/ongoing/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml"
\

    org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process \

               
-param l10n.gentext.default.language en \

               
-param glossary.collection ../../../src/glossary.xml  \

               
-param chunk.section.depth 1 \

               
-param html.stylesheet "styles_html.css" \

    
           -param
base.dir manual.html-help/ -xsl ../../../src/xsl.d/my-html-help.xsl \

               
-in manual.xml

 

The chunk html files are generated in subdirectory
manual.html-help, thank to the base.dir parameter. However, all *.h and *hh*
files are created under the current directory. I want to keep the current
directory without intermediate files.

 

Previously with xsltproc, the –out argument allows me to
specify the output directory. It seems that Xalan does not have such an option.

 

Any ideas to output the intermediate files into a sub
directory? Thanks!
