By inspecting type-otf.mkiv from texlive & context-minimals, I see that the latter is almost 4x bigger - probably it includes most of the interesting free fonts available. For now, it can be enough considering that atm we'll mostly write markdown/reST and convert to ConTeXt via pandoc, but later we'll go into final production and then there will be another question relevant - whether there are some affordable commercial quality fonts which could enhance the free collection and which cover extended Unicode range (we need to use Sanskrit diacritics that were created via TeX accent mechanism when we worked in old LaTeX).

This is very similar to a project in which I am planning to engage in the near future. Output to both HTML and PDF utilizing a simple markup seems to be a "killer feature" that at least some of us are looking for. Cross-media publishing, however, is never painless. It's like a Holy Grail. Pandoc makes me want to either learn Haskell or implement my own markup with a focus towards multiple output formats and typesetting in general (most markups seem to be focused on developer workflows). Anyway, a fruitful space for ConTeXt, thanks to its strive for configurability. On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 8:35 PM, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

Sounds interesting. What's your workflow? Do you use a special editor (WYSIWYM?) for your markup?

For a new project I'm planning to use some simple markup (probably ReST) with a Web CMS to create HTML and ConTeXt -> PDF. (I won't need math.)

Hi Gour, Hraban, John, and the list, did you consider directly processing reST or similar markdown with context using lua? Certainly it has advantages to have a converter output context (backslash style) code and being able to finalize it. But implementing some .rst processing directly in context shouldn't be that hard (and with luatex you could handle the html output as well). Has somebody already made some steps in that way? (I'm thinking about doing so for quite some time now but then, it's not that pressing either.) Philipp

There is a lua markdown converter: http://github.com/jgm/lunamark It can output html and latex, I don't think it would be hard to make it output context and integrate it in some way. On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 09:31:06AM +0000, John Haltiwanger wrote:

This was exactly what I was wondering last night:

How hard would it be to just write the converter into LuaTeX? Does LuaTeX's position as a moving target affect this at all?

As you suggest Phillip, it might not be so difficult. It certainly sounds like a worthwhile project. Seeming as how there is an obvious spread of interest, perhaps we can start working on something collaboratively.

is there a precise spec?

You mean something like this?: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#quick-syn... Hth, Philipp

(I'm still looking for a few examples that I can use at the ctx conference.)
