Dear gang,
I have an urgent project that needs three outputs: pdf, epub, and kindle. The formatting needs are pretty basic. In your experience:
What is the recommended, more efficient workflow for this sort of thing? Should I start with markdown and then generate context and epub (then convert epub=>kindle I presume)? Or does one context file with pdf and epub outputs work well? Many years ago I did some documents in ConTeXt with both print and screen pdfs from a single source. Can we do the latter in ConTeXt now? Does anyone have any examples?
the export is xml reflecting the structure etc and as the whole idea of xml is that it can be transformed one can map that to anything needed there is mtx-epub but i need to look into that again as one problem with epub is that all these substandards and devices differ a bit context can produce xhtml which then with a css can be viewed in full blown browsers (i used mozilla) although for some constructs (like hyperlinks) html like thingies have to be used (not part of css) as xhtml is not becoming the standard it should be, i'm considering a variant output where everything is a <div> or <span> which then even more moves things to css (outputting html tags makes no sense as we then would end up in tag abuse due to the limited number of tags)
According to
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/epub
There is no support for graphics in ConTeXt epub output. Are there workarounds?
all relevant info is embedded and output (with a css mapping to graphics that one can supply as png/jpg/whatever)
In any case, all advice for an efficient workflow for this project will be greatly appreciated!
(luigi is working on some stuff that transforms the export into wiki pages for the garden, e.g. the new publications manual) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
