Automatically filling forms

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky <yatskovsky@gmail.com>]

Hello,

First of all, thanks to NTG for the proceedings book.

I have a rather specific question. In my workplace, there are many forms 
in Word format:

         TITLE OF THE FORM
A student ___________________________ (name, surname)
was employed at ________________ (place) _______ (date)
bla-bla
bla-bla

The fields represented here by underlines should be filled in. 
Typically, it should be done electronically for a number (say, a group) 
of students, and then printed out. Performing this task in Word was 
proven to be error-prone and tedious.

What is the best way to handle such forms in ConTeXt? Maybe, some 
generic examples are already available?

Obviously, data could be stored in simple relational database-like 
columns: Name, Place, Data. But what format to choose? XML, CVS, plain 
text?

Regards,
Vyatcheslav
