I've wondering about this myself. Given that the default encoding for XML is utf-8, it'd seem ConTeXt ought to support it if its going to typeset XML.
Yes, that's logical and I'm wondering whether it's true given the fact that TeX by itself doesn't handle utf-8.
I posted a note about the tbook project (http://tbookdtd.sf.net/) a couple of weeks ago, which includes this binary (description from manual):
I saw it and it sounds good. It even has xindy for indexing which I use under LyX (LaTeX). Would be nice to have similar capabilities with ConTeXt, however I need DocBook echangeability.
tbrplent is a filter program that scans for non-ASCII UTF-8s in the input stream and creates decent LATEX macros or, if possible, Latin-1 characters for the output stream.
Does ConTeXt have an equivalent, or can this one perhaps be modified?
I hope some ConTeXt guru can enlighten us regards. Sincerely, Gour
