Description Pierre 2011-11-25 07:44:00 UTC

Description of problem:
The --output option of db2html is supposed to produce output in the specified directory. It actually has the following behavior:
- display an erroneous message "output is <dir>", where <dir> is the base directory of the source document
- generate the html output file in the specified directory
- create a stylesheet-images directory as a subdirectory of <dir>

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.6.14

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a HOME/C/nact.xml
2. cd HOME
3. db2html --output html --nochunks C/nact.xml
  
Actual results:
- displays "output is C/nact"
- creates html/nact.html
- creates C/nact/stylesheet-images/ subdirectory

Expected results:
- displays "output is html/nact.html"
- creates html/nact.html
- creates html/stylesheet-images/ subdirectory

Thanks for report, db2html is very stupid wrapper shell script and it doesn't know anything about the options you provided to jw which actually does the work(and has this --output option). 

However, I agree that the db2html could(and should) be improved a bit to better understand output-related jw options to produce correct results in the situations like you described...
