Re: Announce: Simple DocBook/Slides/XSL Stylesheets


/ "Lossner, Kevin" <KLossner@easy.de> was heard to say:
| This might be a foolish question, but is it reasonable to try to generate
| simple PPT (PowerPoint) files from DocBook XML? Has someone done this?

[ Follow-ups to docbook-apps, please ]

I don't know of anyone whose done it, and I think it'd be fairly tricky.
If you're thinking of trying it, I expect the easiest angle of attack
would be to reverse-engineer the HTML format that MS uses to web-publish
PPTs.
