Re: [docbook-apps] roundtrip - wordml2normalise.xsl/normalise-common.xsl

Vittorio,

I have converted quite a few Word docs and its never very clean - they are never well behaved ;-)

One thing that you might try is using Majix (http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Authors/TetraSix.html) to convert from an RTF. There you can specify what to use when it encounters a block that it doesn't recognize.

Or use 'sed' , but that taints the source ;-)

Regards,

Dean Nelson

Hi all,

I'm not familiar with WordML nor DocBook but trying to convert 1 WordML file with ~200 pages to DocBook. (a good start...)

When running the XML pipeline WordML2DocBook I got errors at the end (blocks2dbk.xsl) with 35 different paragraph styles.
e.g. 'ERROR "unknown-style": unknown paragraph style "berschrift1" encountered'

Yes - the WordML file had a customized German 'MySpecialWord.dot' at the beginning...
I found out, that the template 'rnd:map-paragraph-style' is imported to wordml2normalise.xsl from 'normalise-common.xsl'.

Now the question:
Does it make sense to customize the file "normalise-common.xsl" to match the German styles which had been used in myWordFile.doc (based on mySpecialWord.dot and saved as myWordFile.xml)?

Or should I just replace those 35 styles with sed? ;-)

thanks in advance,
Vittorio
