Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] html2docbook: issue with <h2/>
Hi Bob, Thanks for the info. Indeed herold seems at first to be giving slighlty better result (at least it parses <h2> as I expected). However it turn all links to href, instead of doing what I think is smarter: "Absolute links (starting with "http://";) remain absolute and become <ulink>s. Other links become <xref>s." Ref: http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/Html2DocBook#head-f915b9937f1226e0abb325e6a6335e12d20be0c4 There does not seems to be a best solution here. But the original html2docbook is open-source so I can always fix it.
