Well, I cannot see any bold in "".
It seems to be how ConTeXt handles the blank line and the \bf command.

BTW, the quotation environment is not translated as blockquote and
paragraphs lack their  tags.


Hmm, perhaps a showstopper...


In Opera 12.17, darwin-xml-raw.xml gives a syntax error

It seems weird to me (that should be the error in Opera), that a  element is placed outside the  element.


But the "Reparse document as HTML" does work.


I guess this format won’t be understood by pandoc (unless you write an

Ouch, another showstopper...


-raw.xml is not what you need.


In each of the three cases, there is no bold effect at all.

What is needed to get the typography info transmitted?


I have no experience with xhtml export in ConTeXt. This is beyond my

Aditya gave some of the answer. But his answer implies that I will have to

the browser, I should be able to build a working docx file via pandoc.


If it doesn’t look good in the browser, you won’t get it in pandoc. But
it might be that you get it right in the browser and not in pandoc.

It depends how ConTeXt outputs the XHTML.

So the conclusion would appear to be: There is as yet no easy solution to  
convert context to docx. Given the bibliographical needs of this article:  
It may be that I'll do it in ConTeXt and then ask the editors to let the  
publisher -- it's a major publisher -- foot the bill for the conversion to  
docx. The ironic thing is that this publisher may very well have the final  
book done in TeX -- many of their books are typeset in TeX --, so we'll  
see what happens.


Thanks to all of you for your help!

Yes.  But Org is _also_ a file format, very similar to markdown (only
better).  You might write Org files in Vim and fire Emacs from the
command line to export them to HTML, for instance.  (Not that it would
be a particularly great idea, but definitely possible.)  So Org (the
format) has great support in Emacs Org-mode (an Emacs major mode).

I don’t know whether it makes sense to add discretionary hyphens to
texts, ewhen a browser can hyphenate it
(http://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/h/hyphenate/).

This would make also searching harder.

And my experience with ePub readers (Adobe Reader Mobile 9) is that they
are interpreted as zero-width spaces
(http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28139).

BTW, ARM 9 doesn’t handle zero-width spaces right either. It interprets
them as standard spaces.

> There must be some way to get this into Word...

pandoc may be the way.

I say “may be” instead of “is” because pandoc ignores some attributes
when converting from XHTML

Hi Idris,

I think it is better to use a markdown source with pandoc. It is the
closest model to its native format.

I have written a small book from a markdown source. The PDF document was
generated by ConTeXt, previously converted with pandoc.

I think this is the wrong way to go. Mainly because conversion to
ConTeXt doesn’t rettain language information and special attributes. I
had to edit the ConTeXt source to add the missing features.

[pandoc’s internal document format only allows attributes for certain
elements, not for all of them. A workaround is to wrap then in divs an
spans.]

In my opinion, the right way to go is to convert the markdown source to
HTML and to parse it with an environment. Otherwise, updating the source
is not straightforward (either you have two sources: markdown and ConTeXt).

Why do you prefer to avoid markdown as a source document format?

I don’t have any samples of this workflow, since I never worked this way.

pandoc doesn’t even have a ConTeXt reader
(https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1423). You will need a way to
generate a document in an XML format that pandoc understands.

XHTML is an option. And I guess that would be easy to generate with
ConTeXt (I have never done it).

Just in case it helps,

or

\startlinealignment[middle]
\WidthSpanningText{…}{…}{…}

That was what I was looking for.

There is a minor issue with alignment:

\startalign[center]
\widthspanningtext{text}{.5\textwidth}{Serif}

\hfill\widthspanningtext{text}{.5\textwidth}{Serif}

Hi Fabrice,

I guess that placing an invisible object besides the second frame would
do the same. This looks like a more complex workaround to me.

I must confess that I don’t know whether there are another approaches to
the issue you are facing.

Load the environment before \startproduct or \startcomponent, e.g.

%% begin example
\environment env_productname

\startproduct prd_productname

…

\stopproduct
%% end example

Another solution is to use the \scale command:

\starttext
\scale[width=\textwidth]{My Title}
\stoptext

Dear gang,

I'm currently writing a paper with very basic typographical needs:
blockquotes, emphasis, bibliography, perhaps a graphic or two. The
publisher wants the thing in Word, naturally. The last time I did
something like this I set up a markdown document and just exported it to
both docx and to context. For simple documents this is at least  
workable,

but I'd prefer to write in context, not markdown.


While I /do/ understand you (it's the same with me, only that I'm more
comfortable with LaTeX), have you considered Org-mode?  It's
similar to markdown (though better IMHO), but it comes with great
support in Emacs.  And you get export to odt "for free".  (Also to
LaTeX, though unfortunately not to ConTeXt; OTOH, writing a ConTeXt
exporter should be fairly easy, and a simple exporter could be done in
a few days - the framework for writing exporters to different formats is
very well done.  Incidentally, there's also a Markdown exporter, so you
could probably get to ConTeXt via markdown).


Thank you, Marcin, for introducing me to Org-mode. OTOH, I decided some  
years ago that the Emacs lifestyle is a bit too much for me :-)

With framedtext you need only one environment to put a frame around your text 
and center it
(you can also set the distance before and after the environment) while the 
\framed command
requires you to center the content with additional commands, you have to add 
also a manual
blank command to set a distance before/after the text.

Org-mode does not simply come with great support in Emacs, it is
essentially an emacs module I believe.

Using ConTeXt (not emacs, markdown, or other such things...) you can
indeed export to xml, xhtml, and create epub files.  How these can get
converted to Word is another problem that is to be addressed to the
MS-Word community.

Hans showed us at the last ConTeXt conference:

MWE:


\enablemode[export]

\startmode[export]

\setupbackend
  [export=yes,
   xhtml=yes,
   css=export-example.css]

\setupexport
  [hyphen=yes,
   width=60em]

\stopmode

\starttext

\startquotation
\input darwin
\stopquotation

\stoptext


The css example file can be found in the standalone:
tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/export-example.css


This creates a filename-export directory.

The xhtml file can be read in a browser.
(some tools seem to have problem with the hyphen=yes option)


You will also notice the message:

backend > export > create epub with: mtxrun --script epub
--make "filename" [--purge --rename --svgmath]

Running mtxrun will create the epub file. I have tested reading it on
an iPad.


There must be some way to get this into Word...

You can replace the framed command with a framed text environment, e.g.

\defineframedtext
  [Myframed]
  [width=0.6\textwidth,

Hi Fabrice,

I think that the figure gives a different width to center the frame.

Reducing the value of u to 0.175cm does work (although this is almost
useless :-)).

An xtable may do what you need:

%~ \showframe
\definecolor[Border][c=0.00, m=0.00, y=0.00, k=0.25]

\defineframed
   [Myframed]
   [width=0.6\textwidth,

align={high,flushleft},
frame=off,
framecolor=0.625white,
