You will also get a file called <jobname>.export which represents the
document in xml format. You can postprocess such an export to for
instance html. It's still somewhat experimental but also fun.


Hi Hans,

Thanks! this is a useful step in the direction of ctx2odt support. Are
you planning to provide (basic) (x)html export too? (I'm thinking about
this workflow: write in ctx -> make pdf/make html -> open html in
OpenOffice -> save as odt/doc.)

As xhtml is just xml converted to other tags, I suppose that at some
day there will be additional converters. I would only come up with one
in the perspective of a project as I have no need for it.

There cannot be a universal one-to-one mapping between context generate
xml and xhtml. For example, in a book, I may want \chapter to map to
<h1> while in an article, I may want \section to map to <h1>.
Nonetheless, having a specialized xml to xhtml converter should not be
too difficult (using the verbose XSLT transformations). Targetting html5
is another option.

indeed

On the otherhand, a ConTeXt module that can read context generated xml
will be nice... then the context xml can be the target input form for an
automated tool trying to generate context source.

it's on my list to make such a roundtrip style

Hans
