not to sound negative, but I remember looking at it, and as far as I could see, they have just integrated writer2latex ( http://www.hj- gym.dk/~hj/writer2latex/ ) into OOo. It's a wonderful thing to have, but it has been around for a while; the only thing that's new is the integration. As to ConTeXt export: writer2latex can be customized in a number of ways. For the basic stuff, you can get output that looks a lot like ConTeXt, just don't expect miracles (don't expect miracles for LaTeX, either, btw).
I looked at the output; a bit ugly (which tells me the xml is probably as weird as Hans suggests). Yes, we can't expect miracles. The real problem is converting to a structured format, and that limits things. But for academic articles and the like a reasonable subset should be possible to cook up... I think the potential of OOo as pre-TeX wysiwyg editor is worth exploring. My own needs are for an academic journal so it's a bit urgent for me, anyway... maybe a year from now... Best Idris

Hi gang,
I just learned that OOo 2.04 has a LaTeX export (downloading now). Any of you bright programmers up to writing a ConTeXt export (or porting the LaTeX filters to ConTeXt)?
