I’ve converted a bunch of old school presentation files to Docbook XML, and each file appears as expected. I intend to convert them to XHTML/HTML , and my test conversions look great. My only question is how to create a proper directory structure with links, I’m just not sure what process to consider. For example … I’m looking to have links, to other converted Docbook pages, on the footers of the pages. If anyone has an idea to consider, I would appreciate the input.

Additionally with regards to XSLT, I’m using xsltproc which only supports XSLT 1.0 + common EXSLT modules. xsltproc is the command-line interface of libxslt, which still does not support XSLT 2.0. Regardless even though specific examples are great, I really need to know the general approach. With that information I could search further, to eventually locate specific examples.

    Given this source XML document:

    <ref>
    <refentrytitle>FILE</refentrytitle>
    <volnum>1</volnum>
</ref>

    then the this transformation:

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

 <xsl:variable name="vU" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/>
 <xsl:variable name="vL" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/>

 <xsl:template match="ref">
   <a href="/{volnum}/{translate(refentrytitle, $vU, $vL)}.xml">
     <xsl:value-of select="refentrytitle"/>
   </a>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

    produces the wanted, correct result:

    <a href="/1/file.xml">FILE</a>
