Does anyone have a recommendation of the best tool for doing Word->DocBook
conversion?
If you could wait sometime, maybe you can directly use xsl stylesheets to
convert you documents. The German magazine iX says Word | Excel.. 2003
will use xml as basis documant data.
remember: XML != Docbook
I hope they do publish some DTD. (That is compatible for more than 1 year).
I expect that MS is going to use some proprietary XML schema. Since it's
XML, this would allow an XSL transformation to Docbook, I guess. But you
won't get a MS Word that reads/writes Docbook out of the box. Perhaps
someone will write a smart plugin to do so...
