Not really. With mkiv you can typeset xml files as pdf, so you can also (using modes) convert it to xhtml (we have lua now). Writing a css is not a problem, and you can also manage fonts -- after all you know them because you need for pdf . Other infos are trivial.
Following this route you can also make an (x)html for a WOFF enable browser like firefox 2.6 beta -- it's almost the same of epub, after all Cfr people.mozilla.com/~jkew/woff/woff-spec-latest.html Of course none can say that epub is like pdf from a typographical point of view but for low energy devices can be better epub than pdf. -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
