Hi Jeff,
any conversion from word to xml (docbook or other schema) depends heavily
on how (well) your word files are structured by means of styles, so you
will probably need to massage and fix the files in Word by hand before the
actual conversion can be done effectively.
Unfortunately the styles

Hi,
I am experimenting with the epub3/html5 latest xsl (build 9230) on
DB5.0 files and I get invalid epubs (validated against the latest

Apparently the epubs are missing the navigation document along with

Hi,
I am working on an epub(3) accessibility project and therefore I have
had a look at the html5 generated by the latest docbook xslt.
Looking at the html5 generated by the epub3 xsl, I see some tagging
patterns that are not quite accessible, like the use of span
class=italic or of structure in

of the files in a usable form suitable for DB5.

the stylesheet param 'generate.toc' turned off, by any
chance? That seems to be the only condition for not including it. See the
template named 'manifest.toc' in epub3/epub3-element-mods.xsl.

you have never wrote an xslt before i would suggest an xml/xslt manual as your

If you just need to use xslt someone else wrote, you can do what Peter

Hi David,
I don't know what is your notion of easily IEEE-compliant, but while
XSL-FO is certainly capable of producing such layouts I do expect you
will need a substantial customization effort of the DB stock XSL-FO
templates.
The customization will definitely not be a one evening pastime.
Does the file in fileref exist on the filesystem in the same dir of the doc?

Hi Robert,
dbtoepub uses xsltproc (http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html) to

You need to install xsltproc and have it in your path. Use dbtoebub -s

I still use 1.75.2, but the python

try using local paths in your xsl:imports.
In Oxygen confirm the main xsl is found by hitting enter key while the

Based on your experience , can you please briefly elaborate on the
