Have you looked at the DITA XML output we generate now? It is pretty stable now, we tried to use it for the 4.8 DevNet release, but the output was not fully up to spec at that point. It is now. You can find more information about DITA XML at http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/spec/DITA1.2-spec.html The version of DITA Open Toolkit we are using to apply XSLTs can be found at https://projects.developer.nokia.com/doxygen_dita/files Casper _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
