I had a client with a similar issue, and so I wrote a DocBook-to-DITA XSL
transform to use as a preprocessor for that output. They used a
well-defined subset of DocBook and so the stylesheet did not have to account
for all DocBook elements and combinations. As far as I know, they are still
using that in production. I can't share that stylesheet with you, but it
was pretty straightforward to develop.

Subject: [docbook-apps] WebWorks Help Output
Are there any tools that support generating WebWorks help from DocBook? It
seems that WebWorks does not, it currently supports DITA exclusively.
Our team here is looking to move from FrameMaker to an XML format and it
looks like DocBook is a much better mapping for the style of content we
produce, but a number of our product use WebWorks. or MadCap Flare, to
generate help systems. This seems to be a major sticking point.
I personally find that DITA is overly restrictive and geared towards
making bad writers less bad, so I would be less than thrilled to be forced
into using it because of a lack of commercial tool support.
