Hi,
1) Does anybody know of any scientific publisher or single journals which accept papers/book chapters typeset in ConTeXt yet
I will use ConTeXt to typeset the Jewish Studies journal *Judaica* (https://bop.unibe.ch/index.php/judaica/index). (The first issue should appear soon.) However, we do not accept ConTeXt sources as we use jats xml as our production format. (Actually, I don't expect any of our authors is using ConTeXt.)
Interesting. Is ConTeXt handling Hebrew well?
2) If there are any is any of them convinced enought about ConTeXt to recommend use of ConTeXt or even provide template?
Yes, I gave two talks last year at the Public Knowledge Project Conference in Barcelona. One was about our general workflow (going from docx via pandoc markdown to jats xml; the other was about typesetting xml with ConTeXt.)
I’m using a Python script to convert DOCX to ConTeXt. The better the input, the better the output can be. Usually there’s a lot of manual work. (Last week I had an article whose author never grew out of the typewriter, i.e. every line was a paragraph, footnotes were just paragraphs at the end of his pages – of course my script couldn’t handle that well.)
3) What would be needed and what could help to make them aware? (difficult to properly formulate, if unclear dont bother)
Don't know. Perhaps more examples?
Even LaTeX is a niche; there are not enough users of ConTeXt for it to look reliable, I guess. You can’t really use it without involving yourself in the community. And while I generally love working with ConTeXt, I’m cursing it often enough for unexpected/undocumented behaviour, unfinished features and scattered documentation. My book is intended to fix the latter, but there’s no progress – I got too many different projects and severe limitations of working capacity. And children at home... Best, Hraban
