Re: [NTG-context] other markup to ConTeXt

There is a lua markdown converter: http://github.com/jgm/lunamark It can output html and latex, I don't think it would be hard to make it output context and integrate it in some way. On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 09:31:06AM +0000, John Haltiwanger wrote:

This was exactly what I was wondering last night:

How hard would it be to just write the converter into LuaTeX? Does LuaTeX's position as a moving target affect this at all?

As you suggest Phillip, it might not be so difficult. It certainly sounds like a worthwhile project. Seeming as how there is an obvious spread of interest, perhaps we can start working on something collaboratively.

Finally, for the high-quality output, we plan to convert to ConTeXt (via pandoc since there is no ConTeXt writer for sphinx/docutils) for high-quality PDF output (if rst2pdf won't be satisfying or if we would like to provide paper putput.

Hi Gour, Hraban, John, and the list,

did you consider directly processing reST or similar markdown with context using lua? Certainly it has advantages to have a converter output context (backslash style) code and being able to finalize it. But implementing some .rst processing directly in context shouldn't be that hard (and with luatex you could handle the html output as well).

Has somebody already made some steps in that way?  (I'm thinking about doing so for quite some time now but then, it's not that pressing either.)
