Dear gang,

I'm currently writing a paper with very basic typographical needs: blockquotes, emphasis, bibliography, perhaps a graphic or two. The publisher wants the thing in Word, naturally. The last time I did something like this I set up a markdown document and just exported it to both docx and to context. For simple documents this is at least workable, but I'd prefer to write in context, not markdown.

While I /do/ understand you (it's the same with me, only that I'm more comfortable with LaTeX), have you considered Org-mode? It's similar to markdown (though better IMHO), but it comes with great support in Emacs. And you get export to odt "for free". (Also to LaTeX, though unfortunately not to ConTeXt; OTOH, writing a ConTeXt exporter should be fairly easy, and a simple exporter could be done in a few days - the framework for writing exporters to different formats is very well done. Incidentally, there's also a Markdown exporter, so you could probably get to ConTeXt via markdown).

Thank you, Marcin, for introducing me to Org-mode. OTOH, I decided some years ago that the Emacs lifestyle is a bit too much for me :-) Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
