Hi,

I think you'll find the docbook examples are based around the oasis table model, which is a bit lighter than CALS.  I posted some code a while back which could handle cals tables which should give you a start but it was still far from complete.

> Hello,

> For processing the sections, paras, mediaobjects and so on I

> includes other xsl files and has a lot of variables)and 
> modify them or should I try to write my own, but time is 
> something which is rare at the moment.
> Or is there any other non-copyrighted xsl to do this?

> Thanks for your advise.
