Re: [docbook] Converting from Word/RTF to Simple DocBook/DocBook Article to DocB


I think his problem was converting from db article to db book, no?

If there are only a couple of documents, I would just fix them up by hand like I described. But if you have more than a few, it might be easier to make a quick & dirty xsl to convert them all automatically.

If there are many docs, or if this is something that you plan on doing often, it would probably pay to create a customization layer and a shell script to convert from word to db article, to db book, and maybe even to final form all in one shot. I guess you would really have to trust your word to docbook conversion program though.

I figured the OP was asking how to get from word to XML.
Thereafter is easy.

<grin/>I've just been given the job of assessing Office 2003 for xml output...
If/when its available.
