Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook XML to Word(ML)?

Further to Bob's reply, the plan is to support all DocBook elements (though not necessarily all *combinations* of elements) for the entire round-tripping process.  At this stage I'm ramping up the effort I'm putting into the project, and would welcome feedback on the priorities people would place on the elements to be supported.

There is a set of XSL stylesheets that Steve Ball wrote to convert DocBook

to WordML and back in the DocBook's SourceForge project CVS tree (under

xsl/wordml).  It handles a useful subset of DocBook tags, and might make a

good start for your project if you want to pursue the XSLT route.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Docbook XML to Word(ML)?

Hello,

what   would   be   the  best  (most  complete,  most  reliable,  most

configurable...)  way  to  convert Docbook XML documents to Word files

given  that  the final Word files must be compliant to a .dot template

supplied by a customer?

I  thought  about  using  an XSL stylesheet to convert the Docbook XML

file  to  a  WordML  file using 4suite, load the WordML file into Word

and,  if  required,  do  further  manipulations  not (easily) possible

through XSL via the COM interface of Word using Python.

I  know of the XSL files at the docbook sourceforge site. How complete

are these concerning support of Docbook elements and Word features?

If  someone  knows  about  an FAQ or other on- and offline information

about this topic, thanks for a corresponding reference. I searched the

list on gmane.org, but couldn't find any corresponding messages in the

past...

TIA,

Sincerely,

Wolfgang Keller
