Description csteinert 2008-11-27 21:27:03 UTC
Currently, the DocBook import/export feature is capable of roundtripping some
DocBook-specific element names, but it's not capable of roundtripping arbitrary
custom OOo-Styles. 

Keeping style names available through a roundtrip (for example by using
DocBook's filter attribute) would allow true separation of styleds and
formatting but would still preserve style information. At the same time, having
all style names available in DocBook would provide a hook for more flexible
postprocessing without modifying the DocBook format. It seems that the filter
attribute in DocBook has been created for exactly for such purposes.

Would any of the maintainers be interested in having support for this in future
versions of the docbook-filters? I might be interested in trying to extend the
docbook import/export filters, provided that there is interest in picking this
up for future OOo-Versions.

@sus: I have set the target to "OOO please help" because the enhancements to the
SAMPLE filter of docbook also could be made by others.
