What DTD for a thesis

What DTD for a thesis

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I'm considering of writing a thesis using XML (instead of plain ConTeXt).
What DTD is best suited? The main point is good output, but I want to be
able to convert this document to e.g. HTML without too much hessle.

I thought about using ContML + MathML, but I'd like to know whether you
have a better suggestion.

contml sounds ok to me; we use it here in project for some big customers;

if you need additional functionality, let me know ...

[btw, there are xml interfaces for flowcharts, stepcharts, chemistry, units 
...]

What's ContML?

And I'll second the suggestion to take a look at tbook.

I tried to get the documentation out of this file but it failed (sorry
about only posting things that fail and not about the 1000 things that
are so nice about ConTeXt..)


First of all the interface=en is confusing ConTeXt: 

[...]

! Undefined control sequence.
\moduletitel ...\insidefloattrue \steltabulatiein 
                                                  [\c!voor =,\c!na =]\startt...
l.14 ...yright={PRAGMA / Hans Hagen \& Ton Otten}]



==================================================

After changing this to nl (or removing it or --interface=nl on the
commandline) I get:


[...]

And also the "koe" figure will result in an 'image not found'
message...

i must admit that i seldom test the documentation in sources for 
correctness; alsol, some docs are in english now, which adds to the 
confusion; also in theprocess of making the source code englih i need to 
keep docu in sync -)

just change steltabulatiein into setuptabulation in the s-mod* file and it 
will work

OK, after i changed steltabulatiein into setuptabulate and
stellayoutin -> setuplayout I get

that's what willy e was refering to, solved in the next beta (remove 
\unexpanded before \def\HL in core-tbl; noalign is too sensitive for such 
things i learned)
