Re: OpenOffice to DocBook

OOo-XML is actually very easy to open with PERL. Using the Archive::Zip stuff you can open the content.xml stream, pick certain segments to translate to DocBook format, and modify the XML version and DocType informtion to work like a DocBook file. Basically, what you would need to do is figure out which Segments translate to which segments between Docbook and OOo-XML.
