Subject: DocBook to Word via HTML
This is a followup to the recent discussion about converting DocBook documents to Microsoft Word. One approach that works pretty well is to use the DocBook stylesheets to generate HTML, and then import the HTML into Word. This works especially well if you have a CSS stylesheet. Word will import the CSS styles and create Word styles that match. Bruce D'Arcus sent me some XSL stylesheet customizations that better optimize the HTML output for Word import, in particular for footnotes and paragraphs. I filed a Feature Request on SourceForge (#810043) to suggest creating an option or customization that further optimizes DocBook HTML output for Word import. With Bruce's permission, I attached his two customization files to the feature request if anyone wants to take a look.
