The normal way to get both PDF and HTML is using a XML source.
You know of ConTeXts native XML mode?
AFAIK you can import XML or HTML into MS Office, too, so you need no real Word DOC output.
Or perhaps there's an other XML to RTF/DOC Konverter...
I know XML source should work, but at least for me, creating XML source is unproductive. I work with a text editor and find writing this:
``Hello world,'' says HAL.
much more productive than writing this:
<p>“Hello world”</p>, says HAL.
Maybe I'm missing something, but for writing, XML's markup requirements -- which are invisible to field-based data entry screen -- are way too intense for hand-editing. TeX source is much less verbose. It is easier to create, proof (both visually and audibly), spell check troubleshoot, etc. I have not seen an editor capable of doing XML source in a productive manner, like (La)TeX with text editor. OmniOutliner for OS X is close to being close, but too far from the goal to use. Is there some "special thing" I don't know? ???
Thanks.
