Re: [xsl] Re: Peter Desjardins convert HTML to DITA

Hi. Thanks for pointing this out.

I tried using h2d.xsl a few weeks ago and found that it didn't work
very well for my content. I wondered whether it would be more work to
clean up the original HTML and adjust the IBM stylesheet or to write
my own stylesheet.

I want to have fine control over the output XML and the option of
converting to DocBook. I also want to expand my grasp of XSLT. These
have all let me to try to create my own.

HI, I have adapted the files from IBM for this type of work. See

There were a few problems that I had to fix to get it to run. You may need
to use Tidy on the files first, and set the output to xml, rather than
xhtml, I think. It's been a while since I did it.
The h2d.xsl for conversion to DITA is a v1.1 styelsheet, with Saxon
extensions
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
               xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
               xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";
               extension-element-prefixes="saxon">
You would have to analyze how to rewrite more efficiently in v2.0. If you
did it successfully, you might be doing the DITA world a kindness by sharing
your conversion.
