Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] WYSIWYG Editor for docbook
Hi Robert,
I was pleasantly surprised to see that copy from html into an Oxygen docbook file works surprisingly well.
Yes, it's useful to quickly import some content (especially tables, lists) while converting some of the styling to Docbook tags.
I have more problems when pasting from MSWord directly -- which is odd, because my html comes from MS Word after processing through Wordoff, (an online utility for tidying up Word-generated HTML).
What would those problems be? We try to convert the HTML flavor MS Word sets in the clipboard to Docbook but MS Word produces quite complex XHTML structures and maybe improvements are possible in this area. If you have a test document you want to share you could also write us directly at "support@oxygenxml.com".

I just wanted to say that as a technical writer using docbook, I find that Oxygen XML Author does 98% of what I need. It's about $150 cheaper than the XML Editor license. XML Editor has a few more debugging features which for me are not terribly important. On the other hand, it has some cool wysiwig features and epub support.
