Well, I think a pretty large group of sgml/xml peopel claim this obscure knowlegde. I'm sure taco can confirm this -) >I am quite disappointed with the fact that the Linuxdoc project is discontinued >and that the javatex package is not lavishly documented (by what I have >found so far), so if ConTeXt gained ground in this territory this would >sound like a killer app to me. With crossed fingers, but looking at what we're doing right now, I bet it will gain ground in this territory -) The main focus in xml/xsl is in transforming xml into html. Since context has a lot of built in stuff, we can stick to simple transformations, and even xsl may be too overloaded (loading the whole tree for instance is not really needed). Actually, it's xslt we're dealing with. What is needed, is simple mapping to high level context macros, that then are set up in normal tex styles. > >\chapter{%delete trailing linefeed%delete preceding linefeed} > >and run the result through a filter which clears these comments along with >the linefeeds. Sounds indeed like a nice solution.
