Greetings,
If memory serves me correctly, and there's always a first time,
someone looked into using OpenOffice to output DocBook. Doesn't this
need a stylesheet or something? I thouht it may be time to revisit
this.
Cheers

DocBook export is a feature of OpenOffice.org 2.0. All you need is to
install the openoffice.org-xsltfilter and openoffice.org-javafilter
packages to enable it. I've not looked into the quality of the DocBook
output it produces, but I'm sure we could come up with ways to clean it
up or templates/guidelines to follow to get it producing what we need.
I'm not sure if it can import DocBook, but I don't even know if we'd
need it to. I suppose it is a similar situation to what we have with
the wiki.

On a further note, since the OpenDocument format is XML, I would imagine
it wouldn't be too difficult to find or produce a solution in XSLT to
'import' the DocBook back into OpenOffice.org.

Absolutely doable. The problem, as usual, is finding someone who has the
time...
Cheers,

I finally went to Google for this. I turned up this link:
http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/docbook/supported_tag_table.html
which seems to be an on-going project to support import and export of
DocBook within the OpenOffice framework. Before I spend much time
looking at this, has anyone here seen this before?
Cheers
