Hi Fabián,
thanks for your tip. You are right about the validity, but
unfortunately adding title element doesn't solve the orderedlist and
itemizedlist issues I'm having with the translation. The original
document I have has a title and info, but the document itself it was
too large for debugging purposes so I've cut it down to the most
minimal form that reproduced the problem I have.
I've now added title element to the sample document I have (which is
below) to make it valid, however as I mentioned above it doesn't solve
the issues with itemized and ordered lists during wordml
trasnaltion.Just as a note, the problem I have with the lists only
occurs with the wordml translation, not with any other translations.
Thanks,
mayo

Not any experience with WordML at all, but for starters, your test
document is not valid DocBook (at least not valid DB V5), specifically
para cannot be the 1st child of article, at least as I understand from
reading http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/article.html (title or
info are the 1st mandatory possible children of article).
You should fix your test document before further testing, for
example like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<article>
<title>A Simple Test Article</title>
<para>testing</para>
<!-- REST_OF_YOUR_TEST_DOCUMENT_GOES_HERE -->
</article>
Try to use a validation tool or a validating XML editor, in order to
be sure you process valid DocBook documents.
Good luck!

Hello,
I'm having some issues with docbook to wordml conversion, and was
wondering if anyone on this list would be able to help me out.
The document gets converted with no errors, but there are some big
problems with ordered and itemized lists.
1)the text in the lists does not show up. It is in the generated
wordml document, however there are some elements missing around it
(<w:r><w:t> specifically, as if the <para> inside of <listitem>
wasn't
getting parsed by the xsl sheet).
2) the current docbook-xsl release (1.73.2) itemized lists don't have
bullets, but ordered lists have numbers, and with the docbook-xsl
snapshot bulleted lists have bullets, but ordered lists don't have
numbers.
The document I'm trying to convert is as simple as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<article>
<para>testing</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>bullet one</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>bullet two</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>number one</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>number two</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
</article>
To solve 1) I've tried with both <para> and without <para> inside of
<listitem> elements, but that doesn't help, and according to the
comments in the xsl stylesheet it expects <para> (as it should). The
only solution I found was to modify the roundtrip/docbook.xsl sheet
and insert <w:r><w:t> around the contents of the <listitem> element
definitely helps to solve this problem. (I'm fairly fluent in xsl,
but
don't have much experience with debugging xsl files, so putting it
there manually rather than trying to track why the <para> inside of
<listitem> is getting ignored was easier for me.) According to the
wordml 2003 spec (http://rep.oio.dk/Microsoft.com/officeschemas/welcome.htm
) the <w:r><w:t> is required.
My second issue seems to be related to the worldml template document,
and I haven't been able to figure out what exactly changed in it and
why it suddenly shows bullets but numbers are gone.
I was also wondering if anyone is actively maintaining the docbook to
wordml xsl sheet (roundtrip/docbook.xsl) or if they are just
occasionally updated. Or are they intended just as an example and
should be developed further by users?
Thank you,
Mayo
