Hello, I'am starting with a PhD and I'm thinking about using xml/mathml and context. I'm a bit confused with all the different ways to combine xml and context, native xml, fo, xslt, texml, docbook, ... What is the most promising way to do this? Is it possible to use mechanisms like bibtex when going that way? Thanks for any suggestions. Wolfgang

i'd go fo rnative xml + content mathml (most control over layout) it's not that hard to map xml onto context and you can always apply xslt transformations to get other variants; for nice looking output, forget about xml-fo; it's not meant for that

taco knows ... Hans
Thank you Hans, I already started yesterday with some simple examples and it works fine. I think some more problems will arise when more complicated task needs to be done. Wolfgang Hans Hagen Test schrieb:
