Hello,
I plan to adopt AsciiDoc(tor) as general markup for my writing (web
content, blog posts, study notes etc.) and I’d prefer to use ConTeXt for
my & wife’s presentations over something like reveal.js, so wonder if
anyone has some experienec with the AsciiDoc --> ConTeXt (converted by
Pandoc) toolchaincan?
I use Emacs as my editor (currently on Debian Linux, but soon probably
on FreeBSD/TrueOS)…
Sincerely,
Gour

I must admit I was not aware of that. AsciiDoc can convert to e.g. DocBook(5), but I wonder if/how ConTeXt could handle it? I’ve found something: http://doctribute.com/blog/003-docbook-to-context-xsl-stylesheets-en.html but this involves fiddling with XSL stylesheets, while Pandoc’s covnersion from DocBook to ConTexT eliminates need for them. Another option would be to jsut bite the bullet and learn ConTeXt properly to be use for *all* serious writings which makes sense if I consider that I *might* need to produce one presentation every 2 weeks which is more the one hundred per year. :-O In that case it would be nice to have bette/more support in my (Emacs) editor, but that’s another topic for another thread after I did discover related thread in AUCTeX list today. ;) Sincerely, Gour -- The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains.

Sure it can handle it, but I wonder whether this would make sense. (I mean, does DocBook handle slides?) HTML is XML too. So, you might use a intermediate format such as HTML. > I’ve found something: > http://doctribute.com/blog/003-docbook-to-context-xsl-stylesheets-en.html > but this involves fiddling with XSL stylesheets, while Pandoc’s > covnersion from DocBook to ConTexT eliminates need for them. My personal experience/experiment is http://www.from-pandoc-to-context.tk. It shows that I still have to learn a lot of ConTeXt ;-). But this approach allows me to generate (with pandoc) PDF and ePub documents from exactly the same source. I only need to write the style files for each. I use this approach for books, such as http://www.un-solo-origen.tk (sorry, it’s in Spanish). Actually, the problem with pandoc is that it has to deal with XML with the LaTeX input format. I mean, this is crazy. > Another option would be to just bite the bullet and learn ConTeXt > properly to be use for *all* serious writings which makes sense if I > consider that I *might* need to produce one presentation every 2 weeks > which is more the one hundred per year. :-O ConTeXt XML input will afford you the markup, but you’ll have to know how to deal with the slides in ConTeXt :-). > In that case it would be nice to have bette/more support in my (Emacs) > editor, but that’s another topic for another thread after I did discover > related thread in AUCTeX list today. ;) Sorry, but the issue about editors is beyond my knowledge.

That’s valid point…I was also thinking about it and found something: http://docbook.org/schemas/5x-custom.html#slides > But this approach allows me to generate (with pandoc) PDF and ePub > documents from exactly the same source. I only need to write the style > files for each. That was suggested to me at the beginning of year when I was asking aobut ConTeXt vs Beamer, but the problem is it handles only Markdown which is too simple for my general writing and when/if one uses extensions, then it’s really a mess… > ConTeXt XML input will afford you the markup, but you’ll have to know > how to deal with the slides in ConTeXt :-). That’s true…I’m simply trying, like you, to have AsciiDoc as single-source format and then publish content on the web (static-site-generator), producing high-quality PDF and/or ePub.

After I did two books using LyX/LaTeX I am simply spoiled with TeX’s typestting quality and cannot easily settle for less. Moreover, ConTeXt is certainly superior to LaTeX (despite of possible lack of more docs), so on one hand I can imagine that producing one presentation every two week would probably (hopefully) make me quite skillful in using ConTeXt (maybe even MetaPost/MetFun), at least, presentation-wise[1]…iow. the more I’d use ConText, the possibly initial (steeper) learning curve will pay off in the long term. Let me say that few days ago I stumbled upon interesting thread (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2016-09/msg00001.html) on the AUCTeX mailing list disccussing about possibility to improve general user experince when writing ConTeXt using that Emacs package…Here is one message which can be interesting not only for Hans: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2016-09/msg00010.html Sincerely, Gour Footnotes: [1] Btw, are special presentation effects (animation, transitions etc.) available for non-Acrobat-reader PDF viewers? -- As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death.

We are involved in e.g. typesetting math schoolboooks and for some authors just edit the xml in an 'ascii' editor (scite) .. all a matter of keeping your source clean (clever xml editor environments sometimes mess up). As with tex documents one just hits a button to get a preview.

I was aware of and was using Context for the layout/formatting that it provides. I have been using that on and off for about 7 years. I came upon Pandoc about a couple of years ago for converting files to different formats. In any conversions of formats, from one to another, IMO, the issue is the richness of one format and if that is converted to another format. For me, i had some Context files, that had, for example, footnotes, within footnotes, within footnots. This is very doable in Context. Asciidoc, currently, does not support this multiple levels of footnotes, so, as i expected, converting Context -> Asciidoc, was not able to do this. If i want to go from Asciidoc to Context, the bounds of asciidoc, imo, is a subset of what is possible in Context. I don't know what the slide format is, and haven't used that. My suggestions would be, as you are going from asciidoc to Context, make sure that you are happy with what you can do in asciidoc. Context should be able to readily handle a conversion from Pandoc. hth, Russ On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 12:35:14PM +0200, Saša Janiška wrote: > Hello, > > I plan to adopt AsciiDoc(tor) as general markup for my writing (web > content, blog posts, study notes etc.) and I’d prefer to use ConTeXt for > my & wife’s presentations over something like reveal.js, so wonder if > anyone has some experienec with the AsciiDoc --> ConTeXt (converted by > Pandoc) toolchaincan? > > I use Emacs as my editor (currently on Debian Linux, but soon probably > on FreeBSD/TrueOS)… > > > Sincerely, > Gour > > -- > In the material world, one who is unaffected by whatever good > or evil he may obtain, neither praising it nor despising it, > is firmly fixed in perfect knowledge. > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net > archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 27+ messages in thread

Interesting…I also have need for footnotes within footnotes and hit that barrier with rst/markdown or some other non-AsciiDoc format recently. :-) > My suggestions would be, as you are going from asciidoc to Context, > make sure that you are happy with what you can do in asciidoc.

Well, considering that ConTeXt can do much more than AsciiDoc, maybe for regualr web content (blog posts, shorter articles etc.) I could simply use Markdown without even going to AsciiDoc which is interesting option only in case of being able to server as single-source format.

I had first started looking at Markdown, but then came to Asciidoc, as, imo, Asciidoc is a superset of Markdown. In my previous job, and some in my current job, there is a need to have tables that have cells that go across multiple rows and/or columns. Asciidoc supports this. (Mainly because DocBook support CALS tables.) Because of this, and all the other functionality, i manily use Asciidoc. With that said, when i want or need to have a fine typeset type book/manual, something that might requrie extensive footnotes, indexes, specialized page layouts, auto cross references, etc. AND i could not get that from Asciidoc, then i would create my source in either Context, Docbook, or LaTex. (I haven't used LaTex very much myself, but i know people who swear by it.) At my previous job, we did LARGE technical manuals, and we used a customized version of DocBook. When i was editing those books, we used Xmetal to edit the source XML. I really didn't care for that, so i used Vim with various xml plugins, to traverse and edit the xml. Now, as i use asciidoc, i still use Vim with syntax highlighting. I also use Asciidco FX as an Asciidoc previewer. From there i can also generate html and pdf. When i need more finely formatted pdf's (with cover pages, front matter, back matter, multiple chapters, etc.) then i use Asciidoc-fo pdf. I would also check out Pandoc to go to and from various output format! Hope that helps!

Of course, there is also possibility to just use markdown --> Pandoc --> reveal.js which can look as low-hanging fruit, but, based on my observation, everything around Javascript stuff is almost always hyped and short-lived, iow. today reveal.js is “in”, but that can quickly change tomorrow.
