Thanks a lot Chris!
On Ubuntu 10.4, with docbook2odf package installed, I tried:
cd es
docbook2odf manual.xml --output-file manual-es.odt --debug
And after 10' a 23MB ODF file is generated, but for some reason I can't open it with OpenOffice:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc
With AbiWord, after a while open it ("Some errors were encountered during the import."). I saved to another ODT and again trying to open with OpenOffice. This time it could, but it says it is corrupt and try to fix it.
Then I tried with another package, docbook-utils. Again, a lot of errors. A bunch of HTMLs with basic format, no colors and problems with images were generated.
jw manual.xml
...non SGML character number...
...maximum number of errors (200) reached...
Are we sure that manual.xml DocBook is perfectly correct?
Someone could do this successfully?
Cheers,
Pablo
PD: At least looks to be completely in UTF-8, as it should.
