Re: Locating Things Relative to Location of Style Shee

Is there a way using normal XSLT facilities to get or operate relative to the location of the style sheet without passing in the style sheet location as a runtime parameter?

My specific use case is generating FO output instances that include graphics that are stored relative to the style sheet, not the input XML document.

X:\samp>type unparsed.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
  <!NOTATION image SYSTEM "">
  <!ENTITY flags SYSTEM "smflags.bmp" NDATA image>
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:for-each select="document('')">
    <xsl:value-of select="unparsed-entity-uri('flags')"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

X:\samp>xt unparsed.xsl unparsed.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
file:/X:/samp/smflags.bmp
X:\samp>t:

T:\>xt x:unparsed.xsl x:unparsed.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
file:/smflags.bmp
T:\>
