* dbcontext - part of dblatex, abandoned ~10 years ago I used this way some time ago, but it required tweaks in approx 10 xslt files to make it compatible with Context MkIV
Cool. Any chance you could post your amended xslt files to give a newbie a head start?
Some general tweaks were sent to the original author who promised merging them. He also mentioned planned update in the near future...
Since then dbcontext has been removed from the dblatex distribution. The current dblatex is 0.3.7 but it looks like the most recent dbcontext is from 0.2pre. I think the chances of dbcontext getting further love from its author are not good... David.

it's probably not too complicated to implement a reasonable subset of docbook using the built in parser (i just never needed to do docbook) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I will publish it on my GitHub account later next week (after necessary cleanup). But to be honest, even minimal XSLT skills are required to customize your output. In meantime you can dive into http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html :-) Jan
