Hi Steve,
Good to hear you're still working on 'em, thanks for the great work!
You refer to "new version" and "old version". I'm not sure where the
new version lives, but I've tried using both docbook-xml snapshot as
well as 1.73.2 (always matching the correct version of template and
stylesheets - ie. either use template and stylesheet from snapshot, or
template and stylesheet from 1.72.2). Is there any more recent
versions other than the snapshots?
I'm converting from docbook to wordml, so I'm using the roundtrip/
docbook.xsl. I've fixed the sample document so that it validates, but
it still seems to miss generation of <w:r><w:t> elements when
processing the <para> element inside of <listitem>.
For example, from snip 1, I get snip 2, but word expects snip 3
(according to how word renders things, and from my understanding of
the wordml spec). Snip 2 will be rendered as plain bullet with no
text, adding <w:r><w:t> elements as in snip 3 will show the bullet
with text. Perhaps I'm missing something?
Thanks for your work and help.
regards,
mayo

Hi Mayo,
I am the current maintainer of the roundtripping stylesheets. One
thing to note is that there are two different sets of stylesheets to
converting to/from DocBook; the original stylesheets that are now
deprecated, and a new set that have better support for the different
word processors (Open Office, Pages) and are more easily
maintainable. It would help me tremendously if you could be clear
about which set you are using.
As Fabian has pointed out, thee stylesheets assume valid DocBook.
The new set of stylesheets are designed to work with DocBook v5.0.
See below for further comments.
Cheers,

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.
The template has been changed to better support the new
stylesheets. Sorry if that has broken anything, but if you need the
old version then grab that from the 1.73.2 distribution.
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?
Yes, that's me. They are intended as a complete application, but
also include a customisation layer (documentation on that is coming
soon).
