Hi Idris,

Markdown or pandoc? Markdown is the markup format, pandoc is the tool.

Replacing pandoc with ConTeXt to generate XHTML or ePub files has a
downside.

As far as I know, ConTeXt is much slower for this task. With a sample
from pandoc (http://pandoc.org/epub.html#a-real-book), it takes between
5 and 3 seconds on my computer (depending whether pandoc is loaded in
memory or not).

With pandoc you have also more formats to write to.

I’m really interested in reading it. Also because I’m trying to use
ConTeXt to generate high-quality PDF documents from XHTML files
generated by pandoc ;-).

I’m afraid that missing links for footnotes is a bug,

I think that footnotes are related to pages. You can only have proper
footnotes in a page.

Just in case it might help,


Pablo
