Re: where to look for xsl folk..

hey

Thanks for this information, and thanks for the other post about OxG (I
am very familiar with it). I have done a reasonable amount of research
in the open source world and I dont see anything fitting the bill.
Essentially I want a good stylesheet to run against a docx file and
provide 'good enough' HTML. It will be manually cleaned up and will stay
for the duration of its life as HTML.

I'd prefer to make a direct docx-> html conversion and not go through an
intermediary format. Also, Im looking for open source solutions.
