As I said, I think a tutorial on writing an Org exporter from scratch would be very interesting and useful. If, finally, you can find time for it, I could do a translation to publish it on my blog in Spanish (https://gnutas.juanmanuelmacias.com/). With my translation of Homer's Odyssey (work in progress) and other projects, I don't have a lot of free time, but I can always find a moment. > But here's the thing: I'll need help.

(I did use it a bit, but not very extensively.) (In my case) I have not used much ConTeXt. Really, I prefer LaTeX. It's a personal opinion and a matter of taste, but I find ConTeXt too "monolithic". One of the main problems it has is (I think) its huge lack of documentation (compared to LaTeX). I suppose, in part, because his community is smaller. However, I also think that ConTeXt has interesting features (grid typesetting, xml integration, etc.), and it would not be a bad idea to have an alternative to LaTeX in Org. But I don't know if it would be something feasible in the short term, beyond the concept... Regards, Juan Manuel
