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 (

Oxygen (http://oxygenxml.com) comes with a built-in docbook-to-DITA which
can be tweaked:

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

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