Of course then you can forget about > lua sugars in ConTeXt ... Another possibility is to use org-mode in Emacs, export to Latex and from t= here to ConTeXt. In my case, the last step is accomplished by a home-brewed= ruby script which covers the most common layout commands (and I'm mentioni= ng that here in the hope that somebody who is more competent will eventuall= y write something useful; or maybe pandoc does that, too?). This setup allows me to have everything belonging to a project in one textf= ile, e.g.: * Heading Notes, Ideas Lists: - item 1 - item 2 Tables: | one | two | three | Dates: ** TODO <2011-12-14 Wed 15:10> which I can collect in an agenda * Manuscript This section contains a manuscript which I can separately export as: - textfile - Latex file - HTML file - odt file (for LibreOffice, where it can be saved as a Microsoft doc) More sophisticated ConTeXt commands that are not provided for can be enclos= ed in #+BEGIN_LaTeX \Context command #+END_LaTeX or put behind #+LATEX: \Context command They will show up in the final ConTeXt version, but will not, of course, be= translated into html, odt etc. ** Subsection :noexport: This section is part of "Manuscript", but will not be exported. There are many more features, see http://orgmode.org/ Hope this helps, J=F6rg ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
