Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook 5.0 stylesheets

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

I think the Perl script is general enough to convert other stylesheets, but 
not general enough to convert all stylesheets.  8^)

I didn't try to do slides because the special slides elements are not in 
the DocBook 5 namespace.  Converting that stylesheet would put them in that 
namespace.  While you could work with slides documents in that namespace, 
such usage is not official and not portable.

The Perl script is in the DocBook SourceForge SVN repository if you want to 
try it out:

/trunk/releasetools/makedb5xsl
