What do you do with ConTeXT?
I have a repository of learning materials which are marked up in (DocBook-based) XML. They are in a few different languages (majority English, with Spanish, Dutch and recently Chinese) and belong to several different universities/training organisations on whose behalf we maintain them. I convert the XML into ConTeX code in a batch process using a text processing language, and then use ConTeXt to typeset the result into books and booklets of different styles. We also produce web versions of a lot of the materials, and I use ConTeXt (plus ImageMagick) to create equation GIFs for maths that can't be rendered in pure HTML. We probably have about 30 million words and 10,000 figures under management, all held in the same XML structure, and need to run several releases a day. As a result, all of the processes involved in publishing, including the ConTeXt parts, are part of a batch workflow on a server, and I rarely see the ConTeXt code itself (cos it usually just works). Thanks Hans! Duncan
