Hi Lars,

The DocBook roundtripping system aims to use a word processor (MS Word, Apple Pages, Open Office) as the front-end editor for DocBook documents. Naturally, there are some limitations but it can handle a useful subset of DocBook.

It works by using XSLT to convert he word processor's XML to DocBook, and vice-versa. Accordingly, you some sort of framework to run the transformations. I'm working on that too.

Cheers, Steve Ball

Hi. I have been using XMLmind XXE as a DocBook editor and it works fine. However I have been asked to investigate the possibility to use MS Word as an alternative and this is the reason for ma inquiry:

Does anybody have any experience in using MS Word as a DocBook editor? Does it work? Is it easy or hard to set up? Is it easy or hard to use?
