If I was you, I would use AsciiDoc, convert it to DocBook and process the XML. (There is some simple proof-of-concept docbook processing already written.)
Uff, even when considering to just use AsciiDoc, I was always trying to stay away from DocBook. :-) Do you personally use that?
Markdown is super ambiguous, with lots of different flavours, and often resorting to HTML for the lack of more expressive syntax.
I'm aware of that and that was the reason why in the past I was exploring reST/AsciiDoc, but then I thƣnk that maybe I can use markdown just for simpler/shorter content when publishing on web sites via static-site-generator and for the rest (study notes, slide presentations, alreger texts and/or books) to simply write directly in ConTeXt markup?
There is relatively little syntax you need to learn to achive nearly anything,
This is something what I like - simplicity is always a virtue.
I use TikZ when I need some ready-made stuff with possibly some fancy shading patterns (or when I would pass the images to LaTeX users). In those cases you might be able to achive the same in a lot less lines of code, but you usually constantly need the user manual at hand, and doing something low level is more tricky. ConTeXt support might be occasionally broken.
Thank you. It seems that metaPost/Fun is a way to go... Sincerely, Gour -- As a lamp in a windless place does not waver, so the transcendentalist, whose mind is controlled, remains always steady in his meditation on the transcendent self.
