Re: [docbook-apps] Resources for Simplified DocBook v5?

[Steve Ball <Steve.Ball@explain.com.au>]

Daniel,

Recently I developed a set of stylesheets that convert DocBook to MS  
WordML (and Apple Pages), and also from WordML back to DocBook,  
achieving "roundtripping" of a document.  It would be good to also  
support OpenDocument for roundtripping.  Are you planning on doing  
the reverse transformation as well?

Cheers,
Steve Ball
