Re: [docbook-apps] FW: Microsoft Help v1.0 transform
Hi Morten,

I saw your message and before responding I was waiting to see 
if there was any interest expressed by other members of the mailing list.  
Given the number of output formats we already support, we have to be careful 
about adding more.

 

So, other members, is there a demand for converting DocBook to 
the new Microsoft Help format?

 

I'm not familiar with the new Microsoft Help format, but I 
would be willing to take a look at your customization.

Microsoft Help v1.0 transform

Hi all,

 

I’m a long time reader and no-poster (due to 
a super firewall here), but it should go through now.

 

Now, the the point;

 

I do remember to have seen somewhere that 
there is a wish to get the new Microsoft Help format (hv1,hv2.0 etc) into 
docbook. We have written a transformation for this internally, and I was 
wondering if it would  be something that upstream would be interested in. 
If some of you think it will, then I would be happy to start the internal 
(..yes) process of open sourcing the customizations.

It is functional, but there are some corner 
cases that I know about that fails, so I believe it would be preferable to get 
some more eyes on the transformation.

 

Please let me know what you think regarding 
this
