After some work, I didn't resist and use the herold utility:
herold -i controls.html -o chapter-controls.xml -s UTF-8 -r book
What did I find?
-the root tag is book: this isn't an problem
-we are using old doctype specification, this one is the actual:
[code]
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC '-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN'
'http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd'>
[/code]
As long as we can still generate the output thats great.
-I need revise chapter, section and link, just to conform with
introductions.xml ids pattern (you defined)
We can change the id pattern, as long as its unique and easy to
bookmark. Not sure what ids herold generates.
-the images link references images/image01.png while introductions.xml
uses images/introduction/image01.png: I don't know which to follow!
And these images aren't images folder.
I used the convention that each chapter will have its own images
folder. That way its easier to find images when we have to update
screenshots.
So, this tool very good and I will use it to help us on this task (
html tags to docbook xml tags) initially.
Sounds good. Don't worry if the conversion isn't 100%. This is a
one-time task and I'll double check that the output is generated
correctly.
kind regards
