I think I'm probably about halfway there (maybe 45% or so). A lot of the markup still needs changing (which is taking the majority of the time at the moment), a driver file for the DSSSL stylesheet needs creating (to specify local conventions and options) and the entity definitions need rolling back into the source. Also, the thing needs splitting back into separate files. But it's getting there. For those who want to see what the result of the conversion process looks like, try . Consider this an 'alpha' version if you like, the presentation hasn't been customised in any way. Nevertheless, feedback will be appreciated.
