But what is also needed is a version of Context that produces well formed XML as an output. That would be a step toward producing a dual purpose document with Context, for print and for e-book use. Context users have invested time, often years, in learning how to write Context code. Writing XML is a whole other skillset, comparable to writing xhtml. So is writing a Context to XML converter a possibility? A probability? The commercial program InDesign already has such a capability. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
