<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">The outputFile parameter is not used by the stylesheets, so don't pass it. If a directory starts with ".", it is interpreted in a wrong way by libxslt with an error like:
-------------------
XPath error : Invalid expression
/home/kde-devel/.cache5/khelpcenter/help/__home__kde-
devel__kde__share__doc__HTML__en__kioslave__file__index.docbook
^
runtime error
Evaluating user parameter outputFile failed
-------------------
This is an old issue, it was "solved" on windows by not compiling that code, but I suspect that the issue has been in UNIX systems too for a long time.
Another way to solve the bug is quoting the value of the parameter with '...', replacing:
params.append(qstrdup(parser.value(QStringLiteral("output")).toLocal8Bit().constData()));
with something like
QString quotedOutput = "'" + parser.value(QStringLiteral("output")) + "'";
params.append(qstrdup(quotedOutput.toLocal8Bit().constData()));
but anyway in this case the name of output file is not used, or I can't find any occurrence in the stylesheets.
The stylesheet is applied and the name of the file is used only after to write the generated XML (see tranform() function).
A similar patch can be applied to kdelibs/kdoctools too (same codepath).</pre>
