Subject: RE: [ws-rx-editors] Latest stab at HTML version
Hi Gil, Actually, DocBook and DITA are also OASIS Standards :-) There's a bit of a problem making too close of an association between OpenDocument and OpenOffice as there are a few other vendors who are also building on OpenDocument and/or OpenOffice. I must say that when I built the OO templates initially, the folks from Sun were of tremendous help - particularly Eduardo Gutentag and Eve Maler. Of course that was during the days of OO v1; they really do need to be updated to take advantage of v2.0! I'll pass along your trials and tribulations with the HTML production -- thanks!!
