I'd like something like: dic* DocBook -------> ConTeXt ----> output *dic = DocBookInConTeXt module which is similar to XSL toolchain: xslt fop DocBook ------> XSL-FO -----> output with the exception that ConTeXt format is more user-friendly & capable than xsl-fo format, and produces best quality output. In this way, we have best of both worlds :-) ie. one can use & automatically process DocBook-authored documents to get high quality. If it is possible to get ConTeXt *.tex file after processing DocBook *.xml file with DocBookInConTeXt module (of course, for those structures that are supportedin it), I'd like to know how? Btw, I consider that providing DocBook (xml) as an input format will bring many more users to ConTeXt because high-quality output is what prevents many to use DocBook as an authoring tool (besides those who are rich enough to buy commercial FO engines - mostly corporate users). With time, one can also expect that DocBookInConText module will get more users' input and be able to map more DocBook elements. Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour@mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493
