docbook(5) to context conversion
Hi, Are there any publicly available solutions for converting docbook/docbook5 to context? In searching the context wiki, pragma-ade site, ntg-context archives and the web, I encountered three suggestions: * dbcontext - part of dblatex, abandoned ~10 years ago * context style sheets +/- lua - generic xml solutions mentioned in help docs such as "Dealing with XML in Context MkIV" - generic xml solutions also mentioned in context wiki page "XML Lua" * xslt style sheets Any pointers to more specific or developed resources, or even examples, would be appreciated.

I used this way some time ago, but it required tweaks in approx 10 xslt files to make it compatible with Context MkIV (depends how many elements you use in your source, my is not so complex). For me, XSLT programmer, this is the most natural approach. You can directly customize your outputs this way. I call the transformation directly via command line without that default python stuff. Some general tweaks were sent to the original author who promised merging them. He also mentioned planned update in the near future... Jan
