Hi Thibault,

Thank you for your answer. Actually, the features already present within the
dockbook2ODT transformation should be enough.
What I suspect is that the docbook generated by the script itself is
interpreted in a different way by the ODT generator wrt the PDF/HTML ones.
My script was developed by "trial and error" using the PDF, so I cannot
exclude that the docbook generated by my script includes, for example, small
inconsistencies that are tolerated by one generator (e.g. PDF) and not by
the other (e.g. ODT). As a first attempt, I will check my generated docbook
against the standard in order to identify these issues.

Thanks again,
Francesco

Topcased?


Hi Francesco,

for the document generator, we have used the transformation docbook to
PDF and docbook to HTML. These transformations are quite complete.

For the transformation docbook to ODT, we have coded it ourselves. The
transformation is not complete as it requires a lot of work. We have for
the moment focused on the element we thought important.

A list of currently supported features doesn't exist yet.
For the moment, we support para, phrase, title, section, chapter, xref,
table, tgroup, row, entry, imagedata, imageobject, mediaobject,
textobject in Docbook.

This transformation is realized in XSLT in the plugin
org.topcased.gendoc.docbook2odf

You can raise a new feature request against the project on the GForge
(http://gforge.enseeiht.fr/tracker/?atid=133&group_id=52&func=browse)
with the category "Document Generator" to ask for implementation of new
feature.

Contributions are also welcomed :)

Best Regards,

Thibault
