not to mention obvious old-school approach xml->anything (including ConTeXt). 100 percent reliable conversion of pdf to anything else is impossible by definition, so better don't rely on any magic tools which usually promise but really cannot deliver. Piotr 2009/10/5 Mohamed Bana

I tend to write in pandoc almost exclusively these days then convert it to PDF using context.  it goes,

$ pandoc->context, then $ texexec <file>

works like a charm.

Is there any quick way to print the output of context in txt format? I could do: context-> pdf->txt, but may there is a direct way to do that...? I don't care about the formatting, it is just the text that I am interested in. The reason is that my editor does not understand context (or tex) so I send her txt (or doc)  file for the editing.

thank you Ciro

Yes, pdftotext works "almost" perfect. It does not produce the "ff", "fi", but the rest is ok. thank you. ciro On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 4:12 AM, luigi scarso wrote:
