Well, a while ago I experimented a bit with 2context.vim:
http://pub.mojca.org/tex/vim/fromlgrind/,
but this is surely less that Nikolai did with his last attachment (I
didn't check it yet): I only changed two or three lines in 2html.vim,
which was enough to output ConTeXt code out of any source file
supported by vim. The produced PDFs on the page mentioned above are a
bit faked, but just the ConTeXt part of it, since I didn't know how to
make the \highlight[Statement]{content} highlighted in the proper way
and I didn't know how to send the data to vim and then get them back.
