Hi Hans, Are you suggesting that both of Hraban's options you would not go for, or just the latter (pandoc)? What would you recommend to take a MSWord file and produce a ConText document? Should I be thinking of doing all the ConText markups manually?
It depends on the document. You could do an initial conversions "a la Rhaban" but from then on work in "tex lingua". Once you are accustomed to it, it's not that hard. I admit that I never had to work in Word or something other than TeX (before that ascii with simple markup a bit like markdown but that was ages ago before there was markdown so i wrote a parser and made sure all was formatted well for a daisy wheel line printer and/or laser printer). Maybe just look around abit on the documentation (source) tree to see how larger documents look in tex code.
