Sure I can do, but I was talking about some kind of automatism, for
example I'm trying some books written in DocBook, and want ConTeXt to
automate the typesetting process as possible. It is also cumbersome to
markup every Arabic/English part of the text, especially for Arabic
technical documentation where Arabic and non Arabic text are mixed very
often.
