Hi,

I'm going to SF now, the practical tex conference, so don't expect to 
much input from me for a week.

Some time some after i'm back, i will add basic support for xml 
formatting objects to the context distribution. Because this is not of 
interest to everyone, especially not if you want high quality output 
and/or control etc etc i've set up a dedicated list for this

  http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/foxet

So, feel free to join. There will not be much trafic in the beginning because i want to start discussion when those who are interested are on the list. 

And yes, there will be a paper and a screen manual (sample attached). And no, i will not code the documents in xml -) 

The basic idea is the following: 

  x-fo.tex : base module 
  x-fe.tex : a few basic extensions
  x-fd.tex : definitions (fonts, color) 

and later: 

  x-fx.tex : more interesting extensions  

and maybe on your own machine: 

  x-fu.tex : user extensions 

The x-fx is something we have to discuss on the list since we need format specs for that.

For those not interested, you may consider xml-fo support to be yet another graphic format since one day or the other you may end up with placed xml-fo (tex and xml-fo can therefore be used mixed). 

 

Hans
