Hi Duncan, I know little about xml and virtually nothing about Word (except that it's crap) so please forgive me if this is a stupid or clueless question-)
But you should also explore DocBook-in-ConTeXt, which uses ConTeXt's native XML processing capabilities.
Is it possible to create a Word template that is isomorphic with a DocBook format? Adam (privately) suggested hiring someone to write a structured format for authors. Is that where docbook comes in? Basically, authors in the humanities use Word and it's virtually a lost cause getting them to switch to anything else, even free tools like OO.o (let alone ConTeXt). It would have to be someting where I could do word=>docbook=>ConTeXt. <Sigh> Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
