Hi gang, Have any of you guys a script or something to convert simple html to ConTeXt? There are apparently a couple of html2latex converters out there but is there anything for ConTeXt?

Huh, that's funny. I was just thinking about that in the context of this post, as pointed out by Bruce d'Arcus: <http://kronavita.de/chris/blog/archive/2005/01/converting-bluecloth-to- pdf.html> So it sounds like that XSLT would be one place to start. I have to think, at least with XHTML-basic <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml- basic/>, that going in and renaming a few of the elements in x-contml would get you a lot of the way there, as well. I have to think that http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ is a worthwhile pre- processor to have in one's arsenal, and I pointed out <http://www.re.be/ css2xslfo/> to the foXet list just the other day. Technically speaking, if that converts to XSL-FO as well as it appears, ConTeXt could well be the back end to it. But to answer your question, no I don't have anything per se. I'm just thinking about it. (And, because of PhD obligations, that's all I'm going to do about it, for the time being!) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

I came across this a couple of days ago: http://kronavita.de/chris/data/md2context.xsl didn't try it, looks rather simple (and special). Perhaps better than nothing(?). Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
