This post is not really about ConTeXt but about how I could use ConTeXt to quickly hash out an idea which involved some text processing.

One of my long running (for more than a decade now) ConTeXt projects is typesetting my CV. I maintain the list of publications as an XML file. I parse the file using ConTeXt’s XML helper’s and convert the data to a Lua table, and then typeset it using ConTeXt Lua Documents. When starting with this project, I chose XML as a data format for two reasons. First, XML scema can be validated using a Schema. Second, I thought that since XML is so popular, there must be good tools for authoring XML documents.
