... Maybe I found something useful (initially I could not remember where and
what to look for, but - )
c:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua\mtx-interface.lua
There is:
----
...
local helpinfo = [[
...
--textpad generate textpad interface files
--text create text files for commands and environments
...
]]
----
So I'll check it.
I'd like to renew my TextPad syntax highlighting file for ConTeXt; or better to
try to renew it as there were some Ctx commands missing in the (last)
Ctx-generated syntax file and I had to add commands manually in it.
So if the list of commands is "more complete" or "really complete", I'd like to
use it.
Best regards,
Lukas

During the last few months the wiki got plenty of new commands added
that you could use.
The wiki's list of commands is nowhere near complete, alas. There are
a few (not many) commands *documented* on there that are not
documented elsewhere, but if it's *existence* of commands you want to
know about, the wiki is not a good source, so don't bother.
But I don't think there's an interface to
retrieve information from the wiki in an automated fashion.
The API is, in fact, enabled:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/api.php
But that is more for automated editing than automated retrieval: there
are simply not enough microformats/templates in use to make automated
processing worthwhile.
As for what I myself do when I want to know about the existence or
implementation of commands: I grep the source. This is NOT the same as
producing a list of all commands, of course; just something that is
also very useful, and may often solve the problem.
I've defined a command 'crep' that will automatically search the
source files in the main ConTeXt directory, so if I need something
figure- or footnote-related I'll type
crep '\\def.*figure'
or
crep 'footnote', for example
That will usually at least give me an idea on which file I should look
at. Once inside the file, there are often documenation comments that
start with %D. It's not ideal. But it helps.
## start crep command in my .bashrc and .zshrc
function condir {
cd /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/
}
# Easy grepping of ConTeXt functions
function crep { condir; grep -R $* * }
## end crep command
Cheers,
Sietse
