Converting topics to learning content

Hi there
I have used the built in refactoring script to convert our Word documents into DITA many times now and it has, generally, proved to be a real time saver.
However, a lot of our content uses the Learning & Training specialization, so it would be really useful to be able to convert the DITA topic files, generated during the Word conversion, to L&T learningContent topics.
I have looked at the instructions in the oXygen documentation and am at a bit unsure where I should start.
If this requires a high degree of XLST expertise, then I might just have to give up.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Many thanks
Matt

Hello Matt,
Unfortunately we do not have specific tools to convert DITA topics to their learning and training equivalents.
So yes you would probably need to create some custom XML refactoring actions based on XSLT for this.
Maybe you can also ask around on the DITA Users List to see if others in the community have maybe created such conversion stylesheets:
