Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook - Word 2003 Round-Trip Efforts
Andrew, Ray, Bob Stayton and I have developed round-tripping XSL stylesheets. These are actually loss-less, but only for a limited subset of DocBook and only using a pre-defined set of Word styles. There are also stylesheets to support Apple Pages. OpenOffice is not yet supported, but it is part of the plan. Also, the XSL stylesheets in the DocBook distribution are for XSLT v1.0. You can certainly do a better job with XSLT v2.0, but (a) it is not yet a W3C Recommendation and (b) there are not that many implementations around yet.
