Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] docbook and rtf/doc
The stylesheet we have developed unfortunately does not use DocBook as its source. However, I would be happy to work on a solution for DocBook. Let me see what I can come up with over the weekend... Ultimately, this could be one half of an authoring system for DocBook, using MS Word (or Open Office) as the front-end editor. The other half would be a (system of) stylesheet(s) that converts the Word document into DocBook.
