Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] XML editor
Why not use MS Word as the front-end editor to your DocBook authoring system? Bob Stayton and I have been working on a series of XSL stylesheets that allow roundtripping of DocBook documents through Word (or Apple's Pages). That is, a stylesheet transforms a DocBook document into WordML (the XML format for MS Word 2003), and then another set of stylesheets transforms WordML back into DocBook. These transformations can be done without loss of information, but only for a limited subset of DocBook (even more limited than Simplified DocBook). However, for simple documents I believe this is sufficient for many authors. I'm planning on these stylesheets shipping with the next DocBook XSL stylesheet distribution. My company is also working on applications and tools to support use of these stylesheets, such as producing HTML and PDF from freshly-authored DocBook - contact me for further details if you're interested.
