Subject: Documentation: Avoid use of xmlto --stringparam
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.5.5~3
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=50d9bbba92c9dd5611a1bb592fc42463212413ad;p=git.git

Documentation: Avoid use of xmlto --stringparam

The --stringparam option is not available on older xmlto versions.
Instead, set man.base.url.for.relative.links via a .xsl file.  Older
docbook versions will ignore this without causing grief to users of
older xmlto versions.
