I guess I can mix ConTeXt and XML with the eXaMpLe framework (I have just read about it at wiki.contextgarden.net). In order to understand TEI and ConTeXt, I would like to be able to create the files that will be able to compile an TEI XML document with ConTeXt without having to convert it to ConTeXt. I would like to avoid XSL and XSL-FO. I guess it
Context can process XML directly, and for normal docs the related testing and programming features are ok; complex tree transformation can best be doen with xslt (luatex may change this); there is an xsl-fo processing available in context but i wonder if it has ever been used for serious work; fo is not that suited for quality typesetting and the regular machinery in context is producing better result and faster too
should be something similar DocbookInConTeXt, but I don't know whether it uses the eXaMplE framework (I don't even know whether .
the example framework is some ongoing experiment with web related tex/xml things; you don't need that, just stick to the built in xml handler (as described in example.pdf, but more extensive examples can be found in the x-*.tex files in the distribution
Could anyone comment on this topic? I mean, whether the described task could be achieved with ConTeXt, which issues may arise, whether this is the best approach to the issue, whether I miss something, and so on.
most of the projects we run at pragma involve xml -> pdf processing; using a dedicated dtd works most convenient using tei is ok, as long as you stick to structural elements and keep away from layour-related coding Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
