flat file transformation: Splitting and merging of OpenOffice 1.1 Docum

Hi Charles,
finally I came to a solution for my
Splitting-Open-Office-1.1-Document-problem.
As You said before, some XPATH expressions in the stylesheet were to
restrictive.
Here is the final stylesheet. I used the redirect extension of Xalan.
The stylesheet writes all elements that begin before the first chapter (e.g.
style information) and a list of all chapters in a file named
"kopfdaten.xml"
Then it creates XML files for the chapters (without the elements that
precede chapter 1) named e.g. "kapitel-3.xml".
These files can then be processed with other tools, in my case for doing
translations.
Merging the resulting XML files to get back a valid OpenOffice 1.1 doc is
easy now, because I can use the list of all chapters in the file
"kopfdaten.xml".
Thank You for helping me out!

To get a valid XML instance simply unzip a *.SXW file (OpenOffice 1.1
format) and extract content.xml from there.
