Re: [NTG-context] strange (?) exporting from pdf
After tweaking a bit with OO, I realized that defining precisely the format options is not my goal. My goal is to have as input structured text (model) to be mapped to different outputs (views). So, actually my minimal, low cost, idea for a setup is the following: 1. Write your doc in xhtml. 2. To interchange: open it directly in OO and convert it to rtf (doc, etc...). This is the strenght of (x)html 3. To have ConTeXt (great) output: 3.1 use xml commands in Context 3.2 translate in ConTeXt via a regular expression based python script (my default) This is the stenght of x(ht)ml -a- On 25 Oct 2005, at 00:51, Hans Hagen Test wrote: Henning Hraban Ramm wrote: I'm not a XML guru (never tried XML with ConTeXt), but I guess if you use a XML format like DocBook (or even OpenOffice's) there'd be a ready-to-use way for RTF.

Yes, but the main problem is the something completely different.
