Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook XML to Word(ML)?

Further to Bob's reply, the plan is to support all DocBook elements (though not necessarily all *combinations* of elements) for the entire round-tripping process.� At this stage I'm ramping up the effort I'm putting into the project, and would welcome feedback on the priorities people would place on the elements to be supported.

There is a set of XSL stylesheets that Steve Ball wrote to convert DocBook

to WordML and back in the DocBook's SourceForge project CVS tree (under

xsl/wordml).� It handles a useful subset of DocBook tags, and might make a

good start for your project if you want to pursue the XSLT route.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Docbook XML to Word(ML)?

Hello,

what � would � be � the� best� (most� complete,� most� reliable,� most

configurable...)� way� to� convert Docbook XML documents to Word files

given� that� the final Word files must be compliant to a .dot template

supplied by a customer?

I� thought� about� using� an XSL stylesheet to convert the Docbook XML

file� to� a� WordML� file using 4suite, load the WordML file into Word

and,� if� required,� do� further� manipulations� not (easily) possible

through XSL via the COM interface of Word using Python.

I� know of the XSL files at the docbook sourceforge site. How complete

are these concerning support of Docbook elements and Word features?

If� someone� knows� about� an FAQ or other on- and offline information

about this topic, thanks for a corresponding reference. I searched the

list on gmane.org, but couldn't find any corresponding messages in the

past...

TIA,

Sincerely,

Wolfgang Keller
