Hi Hraban,

Good to know. I will investigate at another time and give feed back.
I am in the middle of moving, so I do not have much time.

We ought to think of making a export specific to epub in the long run!

The export is not really geared at that, as it's a representation of the rendering (although structured). The additional html output can be used for previewing and to what extend it's okay depends on the intended use.

Normally one starts from a neutral source (xml or tex) and then produces different output. So, for specific epub (or whatever) one can either start with the original code (xml) or manipulate what comes out of the export. The export is kind of standard so one can build all kind of scripts to convert it. There is no universal epub (rendering) solution, just as there is no universal pdf layout.

Of course the idea is that the default export is good enough for simple documents. What more gets provided depends on needs (and currently at least I have no need for epub other than a dedicated pdf suitable for displays).

Hans

Context outputs three varants: regular xml, xhtml, and stupified xhtml with

doesn't demands anything beyond css.

The XML generated by ConTeXt is very well structured. So, an option is to 
simply provide XLST stylesheets that transform ConTeXT-XML to 
XHTML/HTML5/whatever.

Such XLST transformation will be better than have ConTeXt chase a moving target.

See e.g. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Epub_Sample

I’ll try to update the pages about ConTeXt’s current export soon, since I have 
a new book in the pipeline.
