Hi, I'm going to SF now, the practical tex conference, so don't expect to much input from me for a week. Some time some after i'm back, i will add basic support for xml formatting objects to the context distribution. Because this is not of interest to everyone, especially not if you want high quality output and/or control etc etc i've set up a dedicated list for this http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/foxet So, feel free to join. There will not be much trafic in the beginning because i want to start discussion when those who are interested are on the list. And yes, there will be a paper and a screen manual (sample attached). And no, i will not code the documents in xml -) The basic idea is the following: x-fo.tex : base module x-fe.tex : a few basic extensions x-fd.tex : definitions (fonts, color) and later: x-fx.tex : more interesting extensions and maybe on your own machine: x-fu.tex : user extensions The x-fx is something we have to discuss on the list since we need format specs for that. For those not interested, you may consider xml-fo support to be yet another graphic format since one day or the other you may end up with placed xml-fo (tex and xml-fo can therefore be used mixed).
