RE: DOC/RTF to ConTeXt via XML

[Idris Samawi Hamid <ishamid@lamar.colostate.edu>]

Hi Duncan,

I know little about xml and virtually nothing about Word (except that it's 
crap) so please forgive me if this is a stupid or clueless question-)

Is it possible to create a Word template that is isomorphic with a DocBook 
format?

Adam (privately) suggested hiring someone to write a structured format for 
authors. Is that where docbook comes in?

Basically, authors in the humanities use Word and it's virtually a lost cause 
getting them to switch to anything else, even free tools like OO.o (let alone 
ConTeXt). It would have to be someting where I could do 
word=>docbook=>ConTeXt.

<Sigh>

Best
