I don't know DSSSL very much, I am only able to fix a few things if needed. I would recommend you to do your work in XSLT, as it is the future of phpdoc too (and the present and foreseeable future of general XML transformations anyway). The new CHMs are already created using XSLT, and probably all the style sheets are converted to XSLT, we only have problems with the TOCs to fix (which I had no time to look at). If you still stick to DSSSL, I would write a preprocessor PHP script if I would be you, which processes the XML source, and finds out what directories are needed. Then the DSSSL script will find the directories in place. Goba [one [EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
