First, I evaluate the document. Hopefully it is light on tables. Next, I save as .txt and .html. Then I use a conversion tool on them (txt2docbook and/or asciidoc, html2db). Next, I go through the output looking for the best looking conversion. Sometimes it's worth excising tables from the HTML before conversion. Finally, I edit the XML to clean it up, fix tags (e.g., converting <emphasis> to other tags, etc.), and add tags. One day I expect someone will get the itch to have OpenOffice take care of the conversion, using XSLT to convert the XML. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, Tech Writer this .signature subject to random changes http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41
