Re: [NTG-context] muse, pandoc and context
Hi Jean and Gour, Thanks for the comments. I would prefer muse, but superscripts/subscripts are extremely common in biology, not just for chemical formula, and maybe there are more things missing I didn't come across so far. On the other hand, tables didn't work well in markdown -- pandoc -- context. If there is no way from reST to context, it's no use to me. Conclusion: there seems to be no good solution...

[NTG-context] muse, pandoc and context
Dear list members, Despite using a text editor (emacs) and context almost exclusively, I need a way to communicate with other members of the institute. I'm evaluating two possibilities: 1. Writing in markdown and using pandoc for conversion to either context or something openable by a word processor. 2. Writing in emacs muse and publishing to -- see above. I would like to know the following: - Has anybody done the same and come to a conclusion? Reasons? - Is my impression correct that with muse one has fewer possibilities such as sub/superscripts? I'm aware of the threads in the archive, but would like to have an updated, concise opinion.
