I have the XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition v10.12.0 and I'm looking for
a way to do a bulk conversion of 200+ .docx files to docbook files.
I'm familiar with going to File => Import DOCX and then selecting the file and converting it to a docbook, but I don't see a way to select an entire folder or multiple docx files to convert at one time.
I've looked through the help and your web page, but I can't find anything about
how this can be done. Is there a plugin that needs to be installed or
directions that I can be pointed to for doing these bulk conversions?
Hello,
I'm sorry but this kind of bulk conversion is not possible using the
"Word To XML" add-on (which is used to implement *interactive*
*facility* "File|Import DOCX") included XMLmind XML Editor Professional
Edition. See https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons_doc.html#word_to_xml
In order to perform this this kind of bulk conversion you need to
purchase the original product: XMLmind Word To XML,
https://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/ and more precisely "Word To XML - Desktop
License", USD340, https://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/price_list.html
The distribution of "Word To XML - Desktop License" include a
command-line tool called "w2x". This command-line tool does not support
(not yet!) converting multiple DOCX files or folders containing DOCX
files but you can easily invoke it from a .BAT file (shell script on
Linux/Mac) of yours.
Simplest shell script example:
---
for f in *.docx; do
w2x -o docbook5 "$f" /tmp/`basename "$f" .docx`.xml
done
---
See "The w2x command-line utility",
https://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/manual/index.html#w2x_command
