Subject: Re: Roundtripping DocBook to/from Word
Hi Steve, I have been looking forward to try-out you DocBook/WML, but just discovered you do not support Chapter/Appendix although you do support the Book element. I will have to see if I can write these templates. N.B. According to http://www.explain.com.au/oss/docbook/supported.html, both chapter and appendix are supported By default you param.xsl set the wordml.template to <xsl:param name="wordml.template" select=""/> If you want to define the empty string, you should properly use <xsl:param name="wordml.template" select="''"/> instead, otherwise e.g. Saxon dies. It was not immediately obvious, what value to use here, but it must be the following value, I should use <xsl:param name="wordml.template" select="'template.xml'"/> Some of my documents contains XML processing instruction, which I would like to keep even if I transform them from DocBook to Word and back again. Is the a Word ML (cover it all element), just like the \special macro in TeX Most documents contains graphics in one form or another. Word will not for a forseable future (if ever) support my SVG figures, but I will properly have to enclose a kind of BASE64 raster versions of my images. Will that be possible with an implementation of a imagedata template, and will I be able to "reverse" my BASE64 spec/or reference to a raster image back to a reference to my svg file ? Should the files specification.xml and supported.xml located in wordml/ not be moved to docsrc/ and included in the document generation process ?
