Dear gang,
I have followed this discussion with interest. I edit a journal myself.
Despite announcing loudly that it is TeX-friendly, the only person who
writes articles in TeX for it is, you guessed it, myself.
I know next-to-nothing about xml, so I apologize if the next question is
ignorant:
Would it be possible to define an xml format for the journal so that I
could more easily process both ConTeXt/LaTeX articles as well as the docs
and rtfs I generally receive? Is this more work than it's worth? It's a
humanities journal, so little-to-no math.
Best
Idris

So if I understand wml, I agree that xml is a format for filtering, not a human writable format. TeX, LaTeX or conTeXt is in input langage, which should be able to be converted to the powerfull master XML format.
No, sorry. This only works for extremely simple TeX code. forget about any real-world mathematics. Forget about 80% of what real-world LaTeX users type into their computers. TeX has simply never been written to be easily parsed.
