Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook up conversion

[Roland Burda <burda.roland@gmail.com>]

Hey Zoltán!

If I got your idea right, then changing the starting tag of your xml would fix this.

<book lang="hu" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://docbook.org/xsd/4.4/docbook.xsd">

to this.

LibreOffice gives a verry messed up xml output after converting your ms-doc to xml, so you should fix it manual. There is no tool for this.

I hope this might help with your issue. If not, feel free to contact me by email.

PS: I'm hungarian.

Cheers,

Roland

Hi!

This is my first letter here.
I'd like to convert a DocBook 4.1.2 XML document to DocBook 4.4.
I haven't found any information regarding this, however I asked google too.
Maybe I was searching the wrong keywords.

My original problem is to convert MS-DOC or MS-DOCX files to DocBook 4.4.
The examples I found on google does not worked. (xsltproc ended up in error, I think docbook roundtrip step one results are useless)
http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic6445.html
http://www.explain.com.au/oss/docbook/

Now I opened the docx files in LibreOffice and saved them in DocBook (which resulted DocBook v4.1.2).
Then, I was able to open it in Syntext Serna and forcing the DocBook v4.2 template on this document.
Now I standing here, I have a v4.2 document which I'd like to convert to v4.4.

I am interested in any solution.
Thanx in adnvance!
