That's correct - I was using reST in the past, but lack of support for e.g. nested inline markup leads to strange and ugly workarounds. Then I was considering AsciiDoc(tor), but consider that for simpler stuff (Pnadoc) markdown could be enough, but for larger bodies of text ConTeXt is without comparison. > So, if you are planning to use markdown for simple documents then go > with the markdown module but if you have more complicated document > structure, use pandoc. Do I inderstand you correctly: for more complicated documents you use Pandoc' markdown and then do Pandoc --> ConTeXt conversion to typeset with the ConTeXt at the end? Sincerely, Gour -- Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. O beloved child of the Kurus, the intelligence of those who are irresolute is many-branched. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
