Preprocessing ConTeXt file to convert from UTF-8 to ASCII & ABNT

["João Macaíba" <joao.macaiba@gmail.com>]

Hi.

I've used LaTeX for a while and found articles about ConTeXt yesterday  
and decided give it a try since its different approach.

Reading the docs I've found it only works with ASCII.

So I've tried to do the convertion UTF-8 => ASCII using iconv, without  
success: it failed to convert the first 'accented character' it  
encounters.

I'm searching to solve this problem, but would like to know if there's  
any doc on 'non-ascii' editing of ConTeXt files.

If there are other people writing in portuguese, like me, and  
specially brazilians, is there a way to implement ABNT standard ?

Any docs on theses subjects: 'non-ascii' input, 'portuguese/brazilian'  
and 'ABNT', would be appreciated :)

I use 'vim' and 'textmate' as my primary editors for *TeX*, and my  
platform is MacOSX (Leopard).


Thanks in advance.
Regards.
