Hi all,

I'm looking to use OpenOffice Writer as a temporary editor for DocBook
documents.  Basically, I need to allow certain people to edit DocBook
documents who have never worked with markup languages before, but are
familiar with OpenOffice.

I've played around with OpenOffice's built-in DocBook support in the past
with only partial success.  I am guessing that the best way is to write a
couple of stylesheets to transform DocBook to/from the OpenDocument format.
I don't need full interoperability, because I plan on cleaning up the end
results myself before publishing.

I've looked at the OpenDocument format and I'm pretty confident that I can
write stylesheets to get the basic transformations that I need.  However,
this will take time I'd rather not spend if I don't have to.  Has anyone
else done something like this?  I've Googled a bit but haven't found
anything usable.

Colin
