Hi Andrea,

Hi to all (Idris, in particular, as we are always dealing with the same problems... ),
I just want to share some thoughts about the ol' damn' problem of converting to ConTeXt from Word et al.
As I told Andrea: For relatively simple documents (like the kind we use in academic journals) it seems we can now
1) convert doc to odt using OOo 2) convert odt to markdown using
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Odt2txt.py 3) use the pandoc utility to convert markdown to ConTeXt. [you left this out]
As suggest by Idris, I subscribed to the pandoc list, but I have to say that the activity is not exactly like the one on ConTeXt list... So the actual support for ConTeXt conversion is not convincing. More, it's always better to put the hands on your machine...
Did you try the markdown-to-ConTeXt conversion? The doc-odt-markdown-context workflow seems pretty useful as is. See also http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/wiki/ConTeXtImprovements I'm working on something else related to this issue that I hope to say more about in the coming weeks ;-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
