Re: [docbook-apps] docbook and rtf/doc


Even better would be to have an XSL stylesheet that produces WordML from the DocBook source.
This is what I and another engineer in my company have done for one of our clients.


In fact, we're (almost) doing the round-tripping thing - the original authoring is done in Word 2003 [*],
that gets saved as XML (WordML), converted to a more suitable XML format (DocBook-like) and
then converted back into WordML for later editing purposes (as well as HTML, PDF, etc).


Cheers,
Steve Ball

[*] They're actually using Word XP and DocSoft at the moment until such time as they upgrade to
Office 2003.

Another method is to generate an HTML file, open the HTML file in Word 2003,
and save it as a .doc file. That assumes you don't mind manual intervention
in the process.

What is the perferred way to produce rtf or word doc
output?

I am still on my quest to get my company to start
using docbook instead of word documents, but i just
received a request from higher up that they would like
to review documents in the doc format so they can
inline their comments to the document.

I am working with the xsltproc -> fop line of tools
right now for pdf output.

Thanks-
Ben
