[NTG-context] ConTeXt - LaTeXt - ODT?
I another thread I talked about my problems with converting my ConTeXt file to an editable format. In principal going the xhtml way seemed best. But yesterday I got talking with someone in the train. He told me that it was possible to convert ConTeXt to LaTeXt and LaTeXt to an ODT file. This could solve my problem. Was this person correct? If yes, how would I do this? -- Cecil Westerhof ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Keep in mind that ConTeXt - ODT should in theory be doable as well, but the author of tex4ht died and it is very unlikely that the conversion would work without any problems and even more unlikely that anyone would know how to fix it. If you can throw away any formatting you did and if you didn't use too many ConTeXt specific tricks, you can simply rewrite your code to LaTeX with a few regular expressions etc. But in the same spirit it might be way easier to just convert the document straight to ODT using copy-paste and applying some formatting there.

They where happy with PDF's all the time, but when the project was almost finished, they changed the requirements. But maybe good to keep in mind for the next project. -- Cecil Westerhof ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

2011/7/19 Hans Hagen pra...@wxs.nl Concerning OTD: if you need to be roundtrip, then you also need to be able to convert back, which might be non trivial. Roundtrip is not necessary I think (in this case). As I understand it: after delivery we do not have to change the document anymore. And if we have, well we just use Open Office.

Was it a database at least? They use a program that is been made by the company I am working for. It was used for ten years, but never documented. First it was they wanted documentation because they did not want to be lost if our company stops working on the application. Now they want to further develop the application themselves.(They have the rights on the sources.) And then it is handy that you can change the documentation. ;-} It was quite a learning experience altogether. -- Cecil Westerhof ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
