I have never used ConTeXt, but from what I've seen, despite its many differences, a lot is still similar to TeX/LaTeX (e.g. math). Given this, I think it might be easier to create a new derived exporter from ox-latex, and override the parts that differ, instead of creating a new one completely from scratch.
You can see an example in my own https://github.com/zzamboni/ox-leanpub/blob/master/ox-leanpub-markua.el, which uses ox-md as a backend for defining the new ox-markua exporter. There is also already some documentation at https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-reference.html --Diego On Mon, Dec 28, 2020 at 4:09 PM Marcin Borkowski <mb...@mbork.pl> wrote: > > On 2020-12-28, at 14:38, Juan Manuel Macías <maciasch...@posteo.net> > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Just out of curiosity, I am wondering if there are plans to create an > > Org to ConTeXt exporter in the future, or if there is already some work > > in progress on this front. > > > > I have to say that among TeX formats I tend to prefer LaTeX to ConTeXt; > > but ConTeXt has very interesting features (grid typesetting, for > > example) that LaTeX lacks (for now) and has a more monolithic structure, > > that is, it does not need to be extended through packages as in LaTeX. > > Creating an exporter from scratch is probably easier than you think. > A few years ago I planned a tutorial about this, but another job > happened, then covid happened etc. Now that I finished some big project > taking me a lot of time, I might be tempted to revisit that.
