Hi Pepe, If you want your content to remain maintainable and manageable for a long period (e.g. decades), if you can afford it, and if you have a sufficiently large amount of content, then I strongly recommend investing the time and effort in an XML-based solution. My experience is in large scale educational/commercial applications, in which managing content in XML and using tools like ConTeXt to create beautiful print output, and alternate tools to create web output from the same source, is a very good solution. I can certainly let you know the technology we use, but some of it is commercial and expensive, and other bits are just complicated! I did a talk at the user group meeting which was kinda about this: http://context.aanhet.net/epen2007/share/duncan/ The first question to ask yourself is how much effort is your content worth. The rest of the answers flow from that, in my experience. :-) Duncan
Hello,
I have used ConTeXt in the past and I have been very pleased with it and the results obtained, much more than LaTeX.
Now I am looking into a solution that would allow me to layout the content ConTeXt and in other formats that ConTeXt does not (Forgive my ignorance, if I am wrong) output, like HTML, Plain Text, or RTF (Those are the formats that I can think of that are interesting to me currently).
Reading the Wiki one of those solutions would be XML, but I know very little about the subject, so this email is to ask about experiences in similar endeavors, other solutions for the same problem and how practical this is.
I suppose that I would use this for general writing and for academic as well (Maths and engineering).
Thanks, Pepe
