Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: openoffice dbk export inport
This mail was forwarded to me by a colleague before I joined the list. OpenOffice.org will release a new developer release with improved stylesheets for DocBook export and import. I would like to this opportunity to explain some background. Replies to Gábor and Carles inline. (I have cc'ed you because of the delay in answering). > --- Baráth_Gábor <dincsi@elender.hu> escribió: > Hi, >> >> I realiled that openoffico.org 643 has import and >> export support to docbook with xslt. (if you install >> the mobile device filters. wierd isn't it?) Correct. This work was done as a proof-of-concept based on work done to support mobile devices.

Our initial sample documents where technical documents from GNOME. Based on our experience to-date, our assumption is that different templates would be required to support Book/Chapter v.

Our estimate is that as of the next release - later this week - the transformations will support 50% of tags commonly used by GNOME documentation writers.

Will you open source the template (and transformations)? xml.openoffice.org/xmerge is a framework designed to enable transformations to be plugged in. Transformations are available to client applications from MIME information provide in the plug-in. For example, I am a plug-in which can transform OpenOffice.org to XHTML or OOo_XML to LaTex. Framework handles all the packing and unpacking of the various XML files and embedded objects (for the LaTex case). - James. >But for the moment, all that is in alpha status, not >ready to be published. > >When we got something in beta status, I'll let you all >know in that list. > >If someone is working in the same direction, please >let me know, in order to see how we can collaborate. > > > >===== >Carles Canellas. >VicerTec S.L. > >_______________________________________________________________ >Yahoo!
