I see the http://www.leverkruid.eu/context/index.html page from > Simon Pepping. But it seems that this project is down. Not many people asked for Docbook support in ConTeXt and I found only three interseting threads in my mail folder. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/026545.html http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/025428.html http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/025358.html > If ConTeXt provide an easy way for translate docbook to pdf file > (usable by a non (ie. not yet) ConTeXt user as dblatex is), I think poeple > could switch to ConTeXt only for that feature (not everybody have > dependency with LaTeX!) > Then the problem would resume to find a good "yourPreferedWikiFormat" to > docbook... > (I'v not seen any "t-bocbook" file on http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules) The module you mention above is the only (complete?) docbook style but ConTeXt provides cals table support by default and mapping for the basic elements to ConTeXt shouldn't be a problem, give us the information what do you need and we write a module.
