dita

Hi, first of, I don't know much about XSL.

I am using a app called DITA to generate pdfs. One of the things it requires is an overwrite of an xsl file; to add custom styling.

I am trying to add an external graphic using a relative path. It doesn't work, unless I supply the full path.

Does not work:

<fo:block text-align="center" width="100%">
  <fo:external-graphic src="../../images/logo.png"/>
</fo:block>

Does work:

<fo:block text-align="center" width="100%">
  <fo:external-graphic src="/absolute/path/to/images/logo.png"/>
</fo:block>

I looked on the web, it said to use "file:image.png" and other website said to use "url(image.png)", but neither worked.

What am I doing wrong?
