We use the DocBook XML and XSL distribution archives without any
changes to them. The reference files are located in the
src/zip
folder and are expanded into the
target/
directory before the rendering
process.
The file names must be reflected in the
docbook.xml.version
and
docbook.xsl.version
properties in the
docbook.properties
file. If you want to use e.g. a
newer XSL version, you can put it into src/zip
and
update the docbook.properties
to reflect this change.
Let us know how it works out for you.
