Indeed, I was about to suggest the same. Handling xml exported by
ConTeXt avoids all the complexities of parsing TeX code and avoids the
need to only support some predefined subset of it (which is inevitable).

yes I know that as an excuse is a bit weak...

Pandoc. :-)


Pandoc does not support Context as an input. Nor does it support modern mkIV
conventions (\startchapter..\stopchapter; \hyphenatedURL; etc).
If anyone knows Haskell, maybe we can submit some patches to Pandoc to
create a --mkiv switch for Context?

I don't know haskell, but it sound like a good excuse to start.

I don't know haskell, but it sound like a good excuse to start.

Don't get me wrong, I use Pandoc all the time. But it is not a panacea,
particularly for existing Context documents.
