In the end I felt silly for daring to posing a problem other people apparently had no problems with whatsoever. well, providing solutions for specific user cases depends on available time etc ... even making a simple example ... > So, if you should embark on this track, be aware that typesetting xml is more complicated than a ConTeXt document, that the knowledge about it is not widespread yet, that you rely on the happy few who do know, and it may take a lot of time to find out things yourself. sure, and eventually it will be covered by manuals (or test files in the test suite -- actually there are some xml ones in there) ... there's only so much you can expect for a free system so some patience is needed ps. although a lot of help can be gotten from this list, the wiki etc, users who want to do complex things (or workflows) cannot expect all their problems to be solved here as we all have jobs to fulfill ... it might help to make wiki pages and let others fill in the gaps Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
