Hello all, I have a manuscript to review that I have managed to coerce into DocBook xml. I'd like to turn it into context so that I can mark it up in a comfortable environment. I just tried Simon Pepping's DocBookInContext package from 2003, but it fails on the provided test document: ! Undefined control sequence. l.968 \stelsectiein pandoc is not an option for me at the moment: I am currently using Arch Linux and have not been able to get their Haskell installation to finish successfully. Thanks for any ideas. Roger This electronic communication is governed by the terms and conditions at http://www.mun.ca/cc/policies/electronic_communications_disclaimer_2012.php

1. The module uses a mix of english and dutch commands which doesn’t work (maybe it worked when module was written). 2. The code is outdated, written for MkII and rewrites commands which are already part of the core. When you really want to use DocBook xml with context you have to write your own module, for tables you can use the context module for calls tables. Wolfgang

That was an experiment by Simon and (in latex style) it overloaded quite some low level stuff so it never really worked out well I think.

Indeed.

Thank you for your replies. The hint given by Thomas was enough to allow me to get pandoc installed and I now have a workflow that provides ConTeXt output. Many thanks.

Hi Roger,
pandoc is not an option for me at the moment: I am currently using Arch Linux and have not been able to get their Haskell installation to finish successfully. Have you tried to use the third party haskell repo? They provide a precompiled package "haskell-pandoc".
