Hi gang,
Have any of you guys a script or something to convert simple html to ConTeXt?
There are apparently a couple of html2latex converters out there but is there
anything for ConTeXt?
Best

Huh, that's funny. I was just thinking about that in the context of this
post, as pointed out by Bruce d'Arcus:
<http://kronavita.de/chris/blog/archive/2005/01/converting-bluecloth-to-
pdf.html>
So it sounds like that XSLT would be one place to start.
I have to think, at least with XHTML-basic <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-
basic/>, that going in and renaming a few of the elements in x-contml
would get you a lot of the way there, as well.
I have to think that <http://tidy.sourceforge.net/> is a worthwhile pre-
processor to have in one's arsenal, and I pointed out <http://www.re.be/
css2xslfo/> to the foXet list just the other day. Technically speaking,
if that converts to XSL-FO as well as it appears, ConTeXt could well be
the back end to it.
But to answer your question, no I don't have anything per se. I'm just
thinking about it. (And, because of PhD obligations, that's all I'm going
to do about it, for the time being!)

I came across this a couple of days ago:
http://kronavita.de/chris/data/md2context.xsl
didn't try it, looks rather simple (and special). Perhaps better than
nothing(?).

I will explore pandoc in more detail in the future. I am more
interested in it from the point of view of understanding Haskell
parsers, but improving the context output will definitely not hurt.

This looks very promising. Perhaps some of us can help the developers to
improve the ConTeXt support.
Thank you very much for sharing this!

This is interesting. A website that converts html to context
(actually uses markdown behind the scenes).
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/html2x.html
This is how the context wiki looks like.
http://johnmacfarlane.net/cgi-bin/html2x.pl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.contextgarden.net%2FMain_Page&format=context
The program is written in haskell and is also available for download.
You can use it to convert markdown to context. I had been looking for
this for a while, when multiple formats are needed. Write in markdown
and generate html or context. I do not completely like the context
output it generates (for example
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README gets converted to
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/example11.tex.html)
