Have you considered authoring in something besides context? Say TEI XML or Docbook, or even markdown (if possible)? If markdown is suitable, then you can end up with both epub and context at the end. Or if using TEI or docbook, you can write a map file (something I have been trying to do) and typeset the xml file directly with context. I'm always happier knowing that I can get as many different output types from a single source as possible.
These are good ideas. I haven't put a whole lot of thought into it yet because the project is still somewhat in the future and I'm still just learning ConTeXt, but I'll definitely consider markdown. I have done DocBook before, and wasn't impressed; it just seems like a world of pain to write and then another world of pain to process, just to be able to say you did it in XML. I have been told to look at DITA, but I can't make heads or tails of it. Never tried TEI. Thanks! -- Daniel
