Subject: ConTeXt and DocBook - beginner's questions
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 11:34:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050225103441.GB10082@ono-sendai> (raw)

Hello everyone,

I am new to ConTeXt (I've been tempted to try it out because of a message by
Sebastian Rahtz, posted on TEI-L). I admit that so far I have been
able to get through only the main manual, but I am very curious about
some things and therefore I would really appreciate it if you could
answer my questions:

1. I am interested in authoring in XML and than typesetting in
ConTeXt. Are there any preferences towards using some particular
markup language for typesetting in ConTeXt? Is e.g. using DocBook more
preferable that using TEI--from the point of view of typesetting in
ConTeXt, of course. 

2. Are there any generic tools available (stylesheets etc.) for typesetting
DocBook/TEI or does one have to come up with his own stylesheets? I
assume that the latter is necessary if one wants to get exactly the
layout he wants, but maybe there are some basic stylesheets that one
can use as a base for his own ones?

3. Also, I have a more general question -- for some (short) period of
time I have been reading both TEI-L and NTG-CONTEXT, all the issues
related to typesetting documents marked up in XML are very
confusing. Do you know any good manual/tutorial concerned with these
issues that I could use a starting point for my studies on the
subject? 

Thank you in advance-

	-Radek Moszczynski
