This morning I was asked by a colleague who is totally blind=20 whether it would be possible to for him have ASCII or .txt files that=20 he could use easily with his screen reading software. (My sense is that=20= he may be able to use PDF files with this software, but that it is not=20= easy.) So, does anyone on the list have ideas about how to produce such files=20= from the files I currently have in hand or any experience with this=20 sort of problem? Is there, for instance, a way to strip away all the=20 formatting commands from a ConTeXt source file automatically so as to=20 leave an unencoded .txt file that I could send him? I gather that he=20 can use .htm files, but so far as I can tell there is no path from a=20 ConTeXt source file to an HTML file=97at least, a specific query about=20= this made recently on this list by someone else seems to have gone=20 unanswered.
