My coworker and Daisy expert is out right now, so I can't ask, but my guess is: xdocs = XML, daisy = XML so with a more or less simple XSL file any conversion is possible. I've seen something resembling a bulk import in the Daisy repository, so that should be possible too. Steven should be able to answer this. ;-) OTOH: unless your xdocs documents are valid and fresh I'd suggest to do the conversion by hand to weed out the old, stale, etc. docs. This part has to be done anyway and since the Daisy repository is relatively clean, let's keep it that way and move over only documents that fit the new system. BTW If you are referring to your current effort, which is concerned with a reference guide (do correct me if I'm wrong), I'd suggest that you wait with the conversion until it is clear what the final setup will be. Since most of your documents are generated directly from the source, there is not much manual effort to get the documentation in the ultimate format. In my view the Daisy repository is for the user guide type of info. Bye, Helma
