Realized after I sent this that all the path references in my post refer to URLs so the \ should be /, even on Windows. Didn't want someone to try making the change and stubbing their toe!

Hi Erich,

I decided to reply to your post first as it helps in replying to Rick's suggestion from a bit earlier. My belief is that none of the changes will break the ability to build with Publican but I am unable to verify that, not having a working installation of Publican at my disposal. The principal hit that will affect most of the files has to do with the use of Common_Content\ in the path to things like the CPLv10 text and the common images that appear in every book. Publican somehow resolves this to oorexx\en-US\ which is where the actual common files and images are located. XSLTPROC has no knowledge of this association so my process simply creates a Common_Content sub-directory under each main book folder and copies the contents of oorexx\en-US\ to it. Then XSLTPROC can resolve the included files. The change would be to replace Common_Content with ..\..\oorexx\en-US which would eliminate the need to copy the files when building each book.

So Rick's suggestion to create a branch is certainly a safe one as it would allow the changes to be applied and tested with both the XSLTPROC/FOP process as well as with Publican, assuming someone still has a working install of it.

I am going to start a new thread since the title of this one still references pandoc and document my process and the issues that I have uncovered. It might be a while before I have the time to do that however.

Gil, can you give one example of a required change?
Do you expect that any of the required changes will break the ability to build with Publican?
