Dear Andre, The image scaling is indeed an issue with the Apache FOP. RenderX XEP should work fine.
Regarding task, I get the expected output with a sample document like below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?oxygen RNGSchema="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/5.0/rng/docbook.rng"; type="xml"?> <article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; version="5.0"> <title>Test article</title> <sect1> <title>Test section</title> <task> <title>Task</title> <procedure> <step> <para>First step</para> </step> <step> <para>Second step</para> </step> </procedure> </task> </sect1> </article> Please verify if you have problems with the above sample. I believe Open Office expects the document to be compressed (as a ZIP archive). You probably need to perform that after the transformation, before opening the file in Open Office.
