Re: [NTG-context] OpenOffice export
I think the potential of OOo as pre-TeX wysiwyg editor is worth exploring. My own needs are for an academic journal so it's a bit urgent for me, anyway... maybe a year from now... Also o3spaces.com seem to be a interestring project . luigi ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

When one version of ConTeXt is frozen, it only allows bugs to be fixed, and no new features are allowed to be added to this version. New features should be added to next major release. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] OpenOffice export
Idris, not to sound negative, but I remember looking at it, and as far as I could see, they have just integrated writer2latex ( http://www.hj- gym.dk/~hj/writer2latex/ ) into OOo. It's a wonderful thing to have, but it has been around for a while; the only thing that's new is the integration. As to ConTeXt export: writer2latex can be customized in a number of ways. For the basic stuff, you can get output that looks a lot like ConTeXt, just don't expect miracles (don't expect miracles for LaTeX, either, btw).
