Once a toolset for fulltext editing has been investigated, investigate and implement options for template-based generation of PDF galleys.
There are two clear pathways:
First generate JATS including fulltext; then generate PDF using JATS as the source document, or
Source the body text directly from the schema the editor works with (most likely a limited HTML dialect), and use a templating toolkit to format an HTML galley from that. Then generate a PDF galley from the HTML. This is a likely lower-maintenance pathway.
I'm currently using ConTeXt to produce PDF from JATS XML, but HTML->PDF would also work via ConTeXt, given a suitable configuration. Would be great if that could be integrated into the planned workflow somehow.
