At work at my cooperative Hostsharing eG we use the way Markdown --> Pandoc --> ConTeXt and we are quite happy with the results. Sadly I don't have time to document it in full up to now. For my own writing I was using Markdown --> Pandoc --> ConTeXt for quite a while and was happy with it, too. Recently I switched to Org-Mode as I started to use org-roam to organize my Zettelkasten and want to make use of the org-mode TODO workflow states to organize the writing process. I use org-pandoc to export from org-mode/emacs to context. I can also use ox-context but I have difficulties to customize it to my needs. The main problem is that both org-pandoc and ox-context are developed by very few people. My lisp knowledge is very limited so I have to stick with what is there. Having a solid pipe from the first ideas to the print pdf would be nice. For now I would say that the exports from org-mode are the weak element in the chain. But if they fail I can export to Markdown and do the last steps via Markdown --> Pandoc. That said I have to confess that I do more sophisticated layout things like flyers in pure ConTeXt as it is much faster. juh -- Autoren-Homepage: ......... http://literatur.hasecke.com Satiren & Essays: ......... http://www.sudelbuch.de Privater Blog: ............ http://www.hasecke.eu Netzliteratur-Projekt: .... http://www.generationenprojekt.de
