I'd like something like:
dic*
DocBook -------> ConTeXt ----> output
*dic = DocBookInConTeXt module
which is similar to XSL toolchain:
xslt fop
DocBook ------> XSL-FO -----> output
with the exception that ConTeXt format is more user-friendly & capable than
xsl-fo format, and produces best quality output.
In this way, we have best of both worlds :-) ie. one can use & automatically
process DocBook-authored documents to get high quality.
If it is possible to get ConTeXt *.tex file after processing DocBook *.xml file
with DocBookInConTeXt module (of course, for those structures that are supportedin
it), I'd like to know how?
Btw, I consider that providing DocBook (xml) as an input format will bring many
more users to ConTeXt because high-quality output is what prevents many to use
DocBook as an authoring tool (besides those who are rich enough to buy
commercial FO engines - mostly corporate users).
With time, one can also expect that DocBookInConText module will get more users'
input and be able to map more DocBook elements.
Sincerely,
Gour
