Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Pasting footnotes from DocBook-generated HTMLinto OpenOffice
Jennifer, Word does support internal links. I am not sure which versions of DocBook and OpenOffice you are using or the platform you are working on, but OpenOffice can import some DocBook versions. You set the document type to DocBook in the Open dialog box and then open the XML file. Your mileage may vary, but if the versions of the tools you are using support this, it is an easier path than pasting rendered content into the editor. It might at least be worth a try. There are also some rendering tools like OpenJade that produce RTF, which could be opened directly in Word. You can also get RTF from the DocBook transforms by producing FO and then using something like FOP to render it to RTF.

It's all going well, except then I thought to myself: we don't want the footnotes to be links once they're in OO. (This is because they're not going properly back and forth, but trying to open the HTML thing instead - if there were a way to have internal links in OO/Word then that would be the ideal solution, but I'd assumed there wasn't (?).) I had a look at footnote.xsl and thought I could create a custom version. But I've got in a tangle (probably not least because v tired from all the actual writing, which has involved staying up till stupid o'clock!) and it's not working. I can get rid of the links, but then (either because of OpenOffice's pasting defaults, or else because I've messed up the attributes in footnote.xsl) the numbers stop being superscript as well. I've got about 40 footnotes and I would really rather not have to tweak them all in Word... It may not strictly be a DocBook question; it may be more a matter of knowing how OO treats HTML. But I thought it was worth asking: has anyone solved this before and know what will work? or got any ideas about best way to proceed? Thanks!
