Since DocBook XML is not supported by the new org-mode export architecture, I tried following the recommendation here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/ox-overview.html exporting to texi and then using makeinfo to convert to DocBook XML. This worked reasonably smoothly, though it still required some hand editing. In particular, there are a number of constructs that seem to be completely different in org->makeinfo generated XML vs. the DocBook XML my team is using. I'm not sure this is exhaustive, but here's what I've found so far: Effect MakeInfo XML output Desired DocBook XML id strings Mixed_Case_Section_Title XXXX_lower_case_section_title chapter, sect labels label="n.n" *n/a* Code example <screen>...</screen> <programlisting>...</programlisting> Graphic <informalfigure> <mediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="..." format="..."></imagedata> </imageobject> </mediaobject> </informalfigure><para><graphic fileref="..." format="..."/><para> Definition list <variablelist> <varlistentry> <term>...</term> <listitem> <para>...</para> </listitem> </varlistentry> ... </variablelist><glosslist> <glossentry> <glossterm>...</glossterm> <glossdef><para>...</para></glossdef> </glossentry> ... </glosslist> I hope this HTML table comes through. I'm assuming I could create a fairly simple XSLT script to convert the makeinfo output to the desired XML, but I'm wondering if there's a way to pass a stylefile, DTD or schema to makeinfo to do this automatically. Anyone know? I looked at the help for makeinfo, but didn't see anything I recognized as a way to do this. Thanks, -pd -- Peter Davis www.techcurmudgeon.com
