Re: Get path of xsl template

Thanks again Jarno.

I'm a bit clearer, but I've come up with another solution, which will
probably work and that's just to set the fop basedir lower down the chain
and work with relative urls from there.

Thanks anyway.

Mark

The template has a base URL, but that information is not accessible from
inside the XSLT stylesheet.

Nope. There might be extension functions, but none in the XPath rec. When
you call the stylesheet for processing, pass the path to the stylesheet
using xsl:param. Just like if you wanted to have the current datetime
available in the stylesheet.
