Keith,
Maybe you should explore an XML format that can be transformed directly to
epub. You'd also be able to write a style sheet with ConTeXt that would out
put a PDF as well. I think TEI-Lite is a good starting

Hi,
You do not understand my point. I one uses XML why use ConTeXt.
Yet, I one wants to use ConTeXt and do ebooks and they have experience why

Hi All,
First off, I do not work with ConTexT, but with Lu(La)TeX.
I follow this list looking for pointers.
The way I understand how ConTexT produces output for
epubs is that it just creates HTML.
If ConTexT (or LuaTex) is to produce output for use in epubs
it should map the ConTexT structures
