Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Processing html/wml files to Docbook-SGML

[Jon Willeke <willeke at intersys dot com>]

As you note, you'll probably be happiest starting with well-formed input 
(no end-tag minimization, etc.).  I believe nsgmls or sx can help with this.

I'm not familiar with WML, but I can envision writing an XSLT stylesheet to 
do most of the job.  For example,

   <xsl:template match="p">
     <para>
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </para>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="key">
     <keycap>
       <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="@CTRL">
           <xsl:text>CTRL</xsl:text>
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="@ALT">
           <xsl:text>ALT</xsl:text>
         </xsl:when>
       </xsl:choose>
     </keycap>
   </xsl:template>
