Good thinking!

Ok, let's wrap up what we have so far (using bash-like syntax):

  1. basename = "$dir"
     - html: ext       = ${html_extension:-"html"}
             directory = $dir.$ext
             topfile   = ${topname:-"index"}.$ext
             chapters  = $id.$ext
             footnotes = "footnotes".$ext
     - rest: target    = $dir.${${format}_extension:-${format}_default}
  2. basename = "$dir/$prefix"
     - html: ext       = ${html_extension:-"html"}
             directory = $dir.$ext
             topfile   = $prefix-${topname:-"index"}.$ext
             chapters  = $prefix-$id.$ext
             footnotes = $prefix-"footnotes".$ext
     - rest: target    = $dir.${${format}_extension:-${format}_default}

Note that in the first case the trailing slash is not needed: For html
we already know it indicates a directory.

I completely agree! :-)

Thanks,
