Converting to ConTeXt from other formats

Converting to ConTeXt from other formats

[Christopher Cardinale]

Are there any programs for converting RTF or HTML documents into
ConTeXt?

Searching the newsgroup archives I saw that Tobias Burnus had created a
program to convert HTML to ConTeXt, but I can't find it anywhere nor
can I get in touch with him. Is this still around?

As a LaTeX user, I've had good success with RTF2LaTeX2e and I hope
there's an equivalent out there.

Thanks,
Chris Cardinale

Here's a crude script for HTML attached.
Axel Rose is on enhancing it.
