Re: [xsl] docbook to dita

I haven't looked at Oxygen's transform, but in the past I've always found it
easier to just build the transform from scratch because DocBook source is so
variable and the target DITA is so variable, that it would be hard to have a
generic DocBook-to-DITA transform that does much more than handle the obvious
mappings.

For example, your DocBook probably only uses a fraction of the DocBook
vocabulary but a generic DocBook-to-DITA transform would have to cover the
whole vocabulary.

But then this is easy for me to say given that generating DITA from random
stuff is my day-to-day work (

Cheers,

    Oxygen (http://oxygenxml.com) comes with a built-in docbook-to-DITA which
can be tweaked:

    It's based on this, from the DITA Open Toolkit, so you could also start
with this one:

    I am looking for docbook to dita xsl transforms that are publicly
available for use and modification. Where might I start.
