Looking the stylesheet, it appears to not be able to generate nested sections
from
<h1>, <h2>, etc. headings. It only generates a single <section> element for the
entire HTML file.
The basic challenge is that plain HTML has a linear structure, in which <h2> is
just
another block element like <para>, while DocBook has a nested structure where
<section> contains <title> and <para> and other <section> elements. Converting
a
linear structure to a nested structure requires a more complex stylesheet than
this
one.
I would suggest you try the standalone HTML-to-DocBook conversion tool
"herold", which
used to be part of the dbdoclet Java app but is now a stand alone app. It can
be
downloaded from:

Subject: [docbook-apps] html2docbook: issue with <h2/>
Hi there,
I'd like to know if anyone is using the script from the page:
http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/Html2DocBook
I tried on a very tidy example:
$ cat input.xhtml
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<body>
<h1>Title1</h1>
<p>bla 1</p>
<h2>Title2</h2>
<p>bla 2</p>
</body>
</html>
Here is what I get as output:
$ cat output.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<section>
<title>Title1</title>
<para>bla 1</para>
<para>bla 2</para>
</section>
The title in <h2> element is lost during the conversion.
Any idea on how to fix that ?
Thanks,
--
Mathieu
