Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: From RTF to DocBook
We (www.xyztechnologies.com) have a tool that is designed to do exactly this - to transform Word Doc/RTF files into meaningful XML documents - one of our target formats is DocBook. The process is that we discard "unnecessary information" that isn't really relevant to the XML format (as is the case with DocBook). As was mentioned in other threads, there may need to be some adjustments to the final format - the goal of our tool is to get you 80-90% there (and in some cases 100% there) and we provide the "debugging" tools to help you "Fix any issues" - with the final document(s). We also let you tweak the set of rules (so you could add your own custom elements into the transformation). This seems to be what you need. The main "catch" is that our tool is not yet shipping - we are about to release our first beta, and are looking for beta sites to test the tool against real source content. If you are interested, please contact me at riz@xyztechnologies.com.

I investigated and found Majix which converts to Simplified DocBook but the conversion does not seem to be quite good a support has done been given to the product since 1999. Therefore no RTF 1.6 support. I found UpCast which converts to an intermediary format and after I have to go through XSLT transformations. The conversion suits me, but I would like to know if there is a good product (preferably Open Source) able to convert from RTF to DocBook without big losses of information. If people have tried Majix or UpCast with success, please let me know of your appreciations. Sébastien -------------- Profitez de l'offre exceptionnelle Tiscali !
