Isn't that basedir?

It's related to basedir, but no setting of basedir achieves the desired effect. 
basedir sets a specific 
directory that all the links in the subdirectory are relative to. relativebase sets 
the basedir to each 
.fo's directory, while it renders that page. 

for example consider the following directory ~/docs/projects/images, and the fo file 
~/docs/
projects/project.fo which contains a relative external-graphic at images/image1.jpg

if you run the ant task and set basedir=~/docs, on the fileset of **/*.fo, it finds 
project.fo and 
renders it. When it gets to the external-graphic, it tries to find images/image1.jpg, 
but it looks off 
of the basedir, so it's looking in ~/docs/images/image1.jpg, which doesn't exist. 
relativebase=true 
sets basedir to the directory that each .fo is in, amking it possible to find 
images/image1.jpg. 
basedir is a global and is only set once, relativebase forces the task to reassign 
basedir for every fo 
file.

Thanks, Joe, for your patience explaining this (again). I think this is 
interesting and so I have applied your patch. Thank you for that. I've also 
checked the Ant manual and haven't found anything alike. I'm not totally happy 
with the name of the parameter but haven't been able to come up with a better 
one. We can still change it if necessary. The main point is that it's 
documented.

As an example of the feature I was able to simplify the build.xml in 
examples/fo.

Does a similar property exist for the Ant xslt task--did you give it the same 
name as that one and the same default value--1.0 is not in much production use 
so I'd rather take advantage of that to make it the same as the xslt property.

I checked the manual at http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/style.html but wasn't 
able to 
find a coresponding property. If I'm missing it or someone comes up with a better 
name, I'm all 
ears.
