Docs for DITA to Word transformer plugin: Word styles?

It would be great if we could get a user guide to the (experimental - but excellent) DITA to Word transformer plugin, specifically for
  • setting up the normal.dotm tempate and
  • mapping DITA elements to Word styles


The normal.dotm file included in the current version of the plugin (shipped with oxygen 18.1) contains sample text in each of the factory default styles.

It would be good to have a standard vanilla mapping from each of the most common DITA inline elements to only one of the Word factory defaults so that end users can just alter this existing mapping rather than having to create new ones!

If anyone's interested in collaborating on this...

Hi Michael,

I see you are already discussing with Jarno on the project issues list.
Our forum is a more static place, most users are only notified for the issues they post.
I would consider that such a question would be better asked on the Yahoo Groups DITA Users List, lots of DITA users will be notified via email and some of them may be interested in collaborating on this.

Regards,
Radu
