There is an experimental feature of converting ConTeXt to XML. You can then process XML using standard XML tools to get HTML.

I do not need any fancy stuff, just simple things: ordered,
unordered lists, verbatim, tables etc.


\setupbackend[export=yes]
\starttext

\section{Some section}

\startitemize[1]
   \item bla bla
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Run "context filename". This will create a filename.export file in your current directory that looks like this:

<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes' ?>

<!-- input filename   : back              -->
<!-- processing date  : Sat Nov  6 16:55:02 2010 -->
<!-- context version  : 2010.10.14 13:14  -->
<!-- exporter version : 0.10              -->

<document language='en' file='back' date='Sat Nov 6 16:55:02 2010' context='2010.10.14 13:14' version='0.10'>
  <section detail='section'>
    <sectionnumber>1</sectionnumber>
    <sectiontitle>Some section</sectiontitle>
    <sectioncontent>
      <itemgroup detail='itemize' symbol='1'>
        <item>
          <itemtag><math><mrow><mo>•</mo></mrow></math></itemtag>
          <itemcontent>bla bla</itemcontent>
        </item>
      </itemgroup>
    </sectioncontent>
  </section>
</document>

work for ConTeXt and then I would like to know what other alternatives
I have. Also regarding rtf or/and odt.

Since you do not need any fancy features, a simpler option is to use markdown as your starting format and use pandoc to convert it to context, html, and odt. However, creating even slightly complicated tables in markdown is a pain, unless your editor supports an ascii table mode.
