You will also get a file called <jobname>.export which represents the
document in xml format. You can postprocess such an export to for
instance html. It's still somewhat experimental but also fun.


Hi Hans,

Thanks! this is a useful step in the direction of ctx2odt support. Are
you planning to provide (basic) (x)html export too? (I'm thinking about
this workflow: write in ctx -> make pdf/make html -> open html in
OpenOffice -> save as odt/doc.)

As xhtml is just xml converted to other tags, I suppose that at some day there will be additional converters. I would only come up with one in the perspective of a project as I have no need for it.

There cannot be a universal one-to-one mapping between context generate xml and xhtml. For example, in a book, I may want \chapter to map to <h1> while in an article, I may want \section to map to <h1>. Nonetheless, having a specialized xml to xhtml converter should not be too difficult (using the verbose XSLT transformations). Targetting html5 is another option.

On the otherhand, a ConTeXt module that can read context generated xml will be nice... then the context xml can be the target input form for an automated tool trying to generate context source.
