Good morning. I tried pasting the template you sent into the stylesheet and
coded the xml document (using XMetal), but it's not working and I'm not sure
what I'm doing wrong. When I transform the document into html (using
Notetab) I don't see a link at all. I've attached the stylesheets and xml
document (this is a finding aid in progress) in case you have a second or
two to spare for me. Again, I really appreciate your help.

Have a great day,
Linda

Probably doesn't matter really as the <xsl:include> that pulls dsc15 into
eadcbs6 creates in essence one virtual stylesheet but for my own practice, I
like to include gneralized templates like this towards the beginning of the
base stylesheet.

Michael,

Thanks for your quick response. I'm using the cookbook stylesheet eadcbs6
and dsc15 - do I include the template in eadcbs6 or dsc15?

Thanks again for your help,
Linda

Linda,
   This is a two step process.

    1.  In your finding aid, you obviously have to include a pointer to
the
image file in your encoding of each <dao>.  Assuming that this is a url in
an HREF attribute, it might look like this.

        <dao show="embed" href="picture.jpg"/>

     2.  You need to include a template like the following in your
stylesheet to create the link from the <dao> element to the digital image
file.


<xsl:template match="dao[@show='embed']">
        <img src="{@href}">
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </img>
</xsl:template>

   In the example above, this would generate the following in your HTML
output.

        <img src="picture.jpg">

Michael

Subject: Linking jpegs using <dao>


I am trying to encode a finding aid  and am having problems linking to the
jpegs. I have jpegs of every item described in the inventory of this
finding
aid and I would like to link to the component description to the jpeg. I'd
like to use <dao> . I've tried inserting <dao> and setting the attributes,
but when I transform my file to html there is no link. Do I need to add
something to my stylesheet to do this? Should I use a linking tag other
than
<dao>?  I'm sorry if the answer is obvious - my ead skills are rusty (at
best) and I've never tried to link to an outside file before.

Any help is much appreciated!

Linda
