I remember the conversation (and chiming in), but I don't recall hearing that any code was written. It would be nice to see a UI for mapping xml elements and attributes to bricolage elements. Open Office is a great example.

I found this relevant thread on the mailing list:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/bricolage/devel/38840#38840

However, these two branches are now 404ing:
https://github.com/brewt/bricolage/commits/dev_who_word_import
https://github.com/brewt/bricolage/tree/dev_inline_edit

Does anyone have a copy of these branches?

Phillip.

Hi Phillip,

Yes, that was us. Here's the relevant post:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/bricolage/devel/38852#38852

It lets you put a mapping text file that maps word styles to bricolage
elements, and then lets you upload elements. No work has happened on it
since though.

There is a working beta of the code.

I'm travelling at the moment, but will see if we can get github restored
or access to a diff.

Cheers,

Alex
