I've settled on reST which is richer markup (see e.g. http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/roles.html#subscript) which is more standard than 'muse' and it enables easy conversion to *.html (e.g. sphinx produces nice output from *.reST), and there is even direct conversion to pdf with rst2pdf. Of course, you can enjoy rst-mode as well. In regard to the ConTeXt side of the equation, I hope that Pandoc will get full parser for reST and then it will be possible to use it produce nice ConTeXt as well (see Pandoc' archive) or we should write and/or ask (I did) for ConTeXt back-end in docutils ;) Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Zagreb, Croatia | GPG key: C6E7162D ----------------------------------------------------------------
