Re: [xsl] docbook to dita

Thank you I will see what oxygen has. Sort of thinking the basic stuff like 
tables, lists,  toc I could use without creating my own. Also I would get an 
idea what are best practices.Terry

found it easier to just build the transform from scratch because DocBook source 
is so variable and the target DITA is so variable, that it would be hard to 
have a generic DocBook-to-DITA transform that does much more than handle the 
obvious mappings.

For example, your DocBook probably only uses a fraction of the DocBook 
vocabulary but a generic DocBook-to-DITA transform would have to cover the 
whole vocabulary.

But then this is easy for me to say given that generating DITA from random 
stuff is my day-to-day work (

    It's based on this, from the DITA Open Toolkit, so you could also start

    I am looking for docbook to dita xsl transforms that are publicly available 
for use and modification. Where might I start.
