[xep-support] Background image scaling

[DESEYNE Jacques]

Peter,

The problem may be related to how you specify the URI of your graphic. Have you checked the output from XEP?

I should have investigated this somewhat further, but it would seem that by default (in XEP 3.8 !), specifying the 'file:' protocol
interpretes relative expressions as relative to the current working directory rather than to the current source's directory. 

When I specify 

    background-image="url(file:graphic.svg)"

And run from the command-line (from the folder 'C:\Workspace\temp'), I get something like:

    [error] java.net.MalformedURLException: Invalid URL or non-existent file: C:\Workspace\temp\graphic.svg

Whereas the following fragment gets rendered as I would expect:

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
...
<fo:block-container width="125mm" height="125mm"
                    background-image="url(graphic.svg)"
                    rx:background-content-height="125mm"
                    background-repeat="no-repeat"
                    border="solid black 0.1pt">
  <!-- These blocks generated by "<xsl:apply-templates/>" -->
  <fo:block space-before="0.5em" space-after="0.5em">First block within the block-container</fo:block>
  <fo:block space-before="0.5em" space-after="0.5em">Second block within the block-container</fo:block>
  <fo:block space-before="0.5em" space-after="0.5em">Third block within the block-container</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
...
</fo:flow> 

Best regards,
