David,
I agree with what you say about creating the styles, and settings
documents, and that's why I figured it would be best to walk before you
run. At the moment I have some predefined styles in another document
which I have unzipped and placed into a folder. I want to take XHTML
documents and convert them into content.xml documents, and then use Ant
to rezip the files. It's crude, but it should do the trick.
I figure that such an XSLT probably exists already and I just need to
find it. ;-)
A Java API for converting CSS to the styles.xml format sounds
interesting. I think I've seen something already that parses CSS and it
would be just a matter of defining a writer that knows how to take that
object and generate the appropriate style.xml document.

I was wondering if there was a stylesheet that would allow you to easily
convert XHTML to OpenDocument content.xml? Although I guess you would
need several stylesheets since content.xml is used to store Writer, Calc
and Impress data. I've seen the export stylesheets but nothing that
would allow you to import into OpenDocument.
One minor problem here is creating multiple files (settings.xml,
styles.xml, and content.xml as the main ones), although there are XSLT
extensions to handle that.
The big problem that I see is merging internal CSS stylesheet
information and style="" and class="" attributes on tags, if you want to
get a really accurate representation of the original. That takes some
major parsing which is not within the normal capabilities of XSLT.

I'd also like to find a stylesheet that could handle XHTML to WordML
conversion.
I've read the articles on using OpenOffice from the command line to
handle some of these conversions, but what I'm interested in is a
lightweight solution that I can use with Ant.
If you don't object to having a program written in Java or Ruby or
Python/Jython that can do that heavy computation, I'd say that would be
the way to go.
For a heavyweight solution, of course, you could use OpenOffice.org in
command line mode and have it open the HTML file and save it as ODF.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mark Fortner
