Thanks - however, you just illuminated a few issues:
I support both Windows and Linux with the same distro, so a sym link would
not be an advantage. Yes, I could rename the directory every time I update,
but then one must actually dig into the directory to find version
information when needed.
I have version information in the scripts that create the documentation,
but that could really junk up the command line passing it into XSLTPROC, but
it could be done.
So I have implemented this and it works
<xsl:param name="draft.watermark.image">
<xsl:text>../../doctools/docbook-xsl-</xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="$VERSION"/><xsl:text>/images/draft.png</xsl:text>
</xsl:param>
Thanks for all of your ideas. They pushed me to the solution!

Dean Nelson

Hello,
Another alternative that seems to work across versions of the stylesheets
as long as you have web access is to point to
_http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/images/draft.png_
(http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/images/draft.png) .

You could set up a symbolic link in your ../../doctools/ directory. Name
the symlink docbook-xsl and have it always point to the latest
docbook-xsl-version that you’re using.
Then you:
-- always select “../../doctools/docbook-xsl/images/draft.png” and never
have to edit the path
-- change only the symlink to start using a new XSL version
This even works nowadays on Windows 7, which has real symbolic links that
you create with the mklink command.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Draftmode image location
All
1. Is there a better way of accessing the draft.png file in stock docbook
xsl tree from my customization layer so I don't have to change the version
number every time I update the XSL to a new version?
<xsl:param name="draft.watermark.image"
select="'../../doctools/docbook-xsl-1.76.1/images/images/draft.png'"/>
Could there be a standard docbook-xsl version ENTITY that I can build a
path from?
Like this?
<xsl:param name="draft.watermark.image"
select="'../../doctools/&DOCBOOK_XSL_VERSION;/images/images/draft.png'"/>
2. Is there are parameter that can be set, similar to base.dir, that
points to the base location of the stylesheets? Then the callout, draft image,
and other locations could be relative to that directory.
How do other folks get around this without hand tuning paths every time a
version changes?

Dean Nelson
