Can I do my next book in ConTeXt?

Can I do my next book in ConTeXt?

[Gerben Wierda]

Hello folks,

I just published Mastering ArchiMate - Edition II (See http://bit.ly/1iNacG8) and (as you might have recalled when I discussed this on TeX mailing lists 1.5 years ago) I was unable to do this layout-heavy book in TeX, so I did it in InDesign CS6.

I am planning another book which is more text-oriented. Actually. I already have written larger parts of it using ConTeXt. Now I have to decide what to use for final production. I would like to finish this in ConTeXt but I would also like to possibly output EPUB. I preferably do not want to use InDesign anymore.

Have work flows been devised to combine PDF production for print and EPUB from a ConTeXt-based source?

Yours,

G

Well, there's pandoc: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/

I've been taking something of a break from (La)TeX and have been working on the documentation for an open source hobbyist CNC milling/routing machine, the Shapeoko: http://www.shapeoko.com/ (currently working on converting an SO2 into a 3D printer), so have been using markdown and mediawiki a lot --- there's a lot to be said for just writing and assigning gross markup w/o consideration for final appearance, only doing that at the end.
