Hello,

perhaps it's an option for you to try the HTML to DocBook converter herold (http://www.dbdoclet.org/archives/herold_5.2.2.jar). I ran
java -jar herold_5.2.2.jar -i input.xhtml -o output.xml
and the result looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<article version="1.0" xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:xl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<info/>
<section remap="h1">
    <title>Title1</title>
    <para>bla 1</para>
    <section remap="h2">
      <title>Title2</title>
      <para>bla 2</para>
    </section>
</section>
</article>

Regards

Hi there,

  I'd like to know if anyone is using the script from the page:
http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/Html2DocBook

  I tried on a very tidy example:

$ cat input.xhtml
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
<h1>Title1</h1>
<p>bla 1</p>
<h2>Title2</h2>
<p>bla 2</p>
</body>
</html>


Here is what I get as output:

$ cat output.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<section>
  <title>Title1</title>
  <para>bla 1</para>
  <para>bla 2</para>
</section>

The title in <h2> element is lost during the conversion.

Any idea on how to fix that ?

Thanks,
