Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] WebWorks Help Output
I had a client with a similar issue, and so I wrote a DocBook-to-DITA XSL transform to use as a preprocessor for that output. They used a well-defined subset of DocBook and so the stylesheet did not have to account for all DocBook elements and combinations. As far as I know, they are still using that in production. I can't share that stylesheet with you, but it was pretty straightforward to develop.
