I work for a publishing house and we are looking to move our books to be published into an XML format.
Keep an eye on the docbook group on Oasis. They are forming a subcommittee to look at publishing as apposed to technical work.
I was very excited to begin reading
about OO abilities to read and write different XML formats by implementing an XML filter and I thought it was an excellent opportunity to introduce OO to our business.
+1
I would also be interested in contributing to OO list of XML filters, but for the moment I'm writing one for in house use. Development was fine until I used the replace function defined in XSLT2. My question is this. Is it possible to write a XML filter for OO in XSLT2?
Yes. ODF xml is (can be) complex. But it is nothing that XSLT 2.0 can't cope with. What I'm waiting for is someone to sit down and generate a full suite of templates for ODF, that other users can pick up when a new transform is needed. Unfortunately, it is hard to do automatically when no one has generated an ODF instance that makes full use of the syntax (for a writer document). If that were done, I have tools that would generate the stylesheet.
