The advantage of having a default is that it can implement commands that are then embedded in the context document. My current version of context-book.tex sets up commants for the document title that are then called in the context document file itself. >> A possible improvement would be to have skribilo _write_ the default >> context customisation file "context-book.tex" but I don't know how to do >> this because I don't know much Guile. > > What would it put in that file? The same stuff that a user might put in by hand and which is guaranteed to allow the generated document to be compileable by context. > Isn’t it better left to users? Some users would probably prefer that. However, if we could get skribilo to create the default context-book.tex the user would have the option to use it as-is, and get a compileable context document without further effort, or to copy it to a different name and tweak the context settings. Running skribilo wth the user-style option would then provide a customised version of their context document. >> I am working on getting skribilo to read org-mode syntax. > > There are a couple of pretty good org-mode parsers for Guile, notably > one used in <http://wingolog.org/projects/guile-present/>.

Interestingly, I found that this morning after browsing the skribilo TODO.

I have the same dumb question as above: what is the command line that generates this from the outline syntax?
