After tweaking a bit with OO, I realized that defining precisely the format options is not my goal.
My goal is to have as input structured text (model) to be mapped to different outputs (views).

So, actually my minimal, low cost, idea for a setup is the following:

1. Write your doc in xhtml.
2. To interchange: open it directly in OO and convert it to rtf (doc, etc...). This is the strenght of (x)html
3. To have ConTeXt (great) output:
3.1 use xml commands in Context
3.2 translate in ConTeXt via a regular expression based python script (my default)
This is the stenght of x(ht)ml

I'm not a XML guru (never tried XML with ConTeXt), but I guess if you use a XML format like DocBook (or even OpenOffice's) there'd be a ready-to-use way for RTF.

Thanks a lot, I was in fact investigating OO.


If you make up something useful from OpenDocumentFormat (or OOo's old format), please share it I guess an OOo to ConTeXt converter would help some people.

actually i've done some of that some time ago in an experimental project; doable as long asin oo one does not mess round too much with tabs (not that well structured xml)
