Roundtrip Changes

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

This is a "heads-up" for changes to the round-tripping XSL  
stylesheets that have been checked in to the DocBook SVN repository.   
These changes are as follows:

1. The subdirectory has been renamed from 'xsl/wordml' to 'xsl/ 
roundtrip'.  This is to more accurately reflect the purpose of the  
stylesheets, and to move the emphasis away from MS Word.

2. Support for OpenOffice has been introduced, see below.  Supported  
word processors are now MS Word (2003), Apple Pages and Open Office.

3. The DocBook-to-word-processor stylesheets have been re-factored  
for improved maintainability.  The old stylesheets, docbook.xsl and  
docbook-pages.xsl, are deprecated.  Replacing them are four dbk2*.xsl  
stylesheets; dbk2wp.xsl is the generic module and dbk2wordml.xsl,  
dbk2pages.xsl and dbk2ooo.xsl provide conversion of DocBook documents  
to the corresponding word processor format.

The next task is to re-engineer the word-processor-to-DocBook  
conversion stylesheets.  Stay tuned for further details!

As always, feel free to contact me is you have any questions about  
these stylesheets.

Cheers, and Happy New Year!
Steve Ball
