These are good ideas. I haven't put a whole lot of thought into it yet
because the project is still somewhat in the future and I'm still just
learning ConTeXt, but I'll definitely consider markdown. I have done
DocBook before, and wasn't impressed; it just seems like a world of
pain to write and then another world of pain to process, just to be
able to say you did it in XML. I have been told to look at DITA, but I
can't make heads or tails of it. Never tried TEI.
Thanks!
