Consdidering that either way, iow. both for Markdown or org-mode, I bet that some work is to be done on the exported markup before producing PDF, I wonder if you write/tweak ConTeXt markup in Emacs?

I can imagine, but I've a long way before mastering ConTeXt...still I'm confident that for producing a book it is better option than fiddling with LaTex - I did two books long ago using it along with LyX - but for preparing the content, it could be easier to do it using markdown/org-mode.

[NTG-context] Beamer --> ConTeXt (sample)
Hello, recently I ha dto quickly put together few presentations for online meetings and not knowing better (aka quicker) way, I took/installed LyX on my Fedora machine. The process is not so smooth and end result is OK if we forgive ourselves that all Beamer presentations are looking almost the same. However, I'm not into diving deep into Beamer package studying/learning it more thoroughly anticipating that soon I'd have to do the same thing with some other package. :-) Otoh, ConTeXt is a different league and learning it will pay for itself in the long run. However, in order to be at least somewhat productive, I need some help so I can have some starter and not postponing learning ConTeXt ad infinitum, so I'm attaching small Beamer sample and wonder if someone can help by providing somewhat similar thing for ConText?

[NTG-context] LSP support
Hello, yesterday while exploring features/plugins of Kakoune (https://kakoune.org/) editor I, naturally, asked about ConTeXt/LaTeX support and was told about TexLab project (https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab) bringing LSP (https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) support for LaTeX. Interestingly enough, by browsing through the tickets I've found the following issue: "ConTeXt support" (https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab/issues/166) where one of the, afaict, main devs of the project replied with: "ConTeXt support is definitely in scope of this project. Our LaTeX parser does not rely on LaTeX specifics but a lot of the features like code completion rely on LaTeX specifics. Nevertheless, supporting ConTeXt is a lot of effort at the moment as I have never used ConTeXt before. Supporting the project structure of ConTeXt would probably be the first step. " Of course, I'm glad that TexLab project does provide LSP support and bringing it to the Kakoune editor as well, but I'm sure that many of you know that bringing ConTeXt support to TexLab would benefit users of **many** other editors since these today many most popular editors (Atom, Emacs, SublimeText, (neo)Vimn, VScode...) are having support for LSP. Unfortuantely, I'm ConTeXt noob and not speaking Rust, but just want to bring the information if there are people familiar with both about potential benefit for ConTeXt to get LSP support.

[NTG-context] lmtx & lohit-devanagari fonts
Hello! I'm working on a small presentation for an upcoming video meeting and started writing some points in Markdown. After using Pandoc to convert I noticed that *.pptx file does contain everything, but if I try with ConTexT, then Devanagi and some diacritics are missing. By inspecting *.pdf file produced by: Pandoc --> PPTX --> LibreOffice --> PDF I can see that Lohit-Devanagari font is used for Sanskrit and I have it installed on my Fedora (fc32) desktop machine. Here is the test file: \starttext ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते । सङ्गात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥ ६२ ॥ dhyāyato viṣayān puṁsaḥ saṅgas teṣūpajāyate saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ kāmāt krodho ’bhijāyate Translation: ``While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.'' \stoptext which I would like to quote - I am somewhat familiar with latin transliteration via diacritics, but completely ignorant in regard to Devanagari - but wonder what is required to make ConText (lmtx) typeset it? Here is the log file: $ context t.tex resolvers | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': /home/gour/opt/lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --jobname="t" --fmt=/home/gour/opt/lmtx/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.fmt --lua=/home/gour/opt/lmtx/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.lui cont-yes.mkiv --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./t.tex" --c:input="./t.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:texmfbinpath="/home/gour/opt/lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin" This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.05.02 open source > level 1, order 1, name 'cont-yes.mkiv' system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2020.04.19 19:43 MKIV beta fmt: 2020.4.21 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > level 2, order 2, name '/home/gour/opt/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv close source> level 2, order 2, name '/home/gour/opt/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > files > jobname 't', input './t', result 't' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > level 2, order 3, name './t.tex' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded fonts > checking > char ध (U+00927) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ् (U+0094D) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char य (U+0092F) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ा (U+0093E) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char त (U+00924) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ो (U+0094B) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char व (U+00935) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ि (U+0093F) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ष (U+00937) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char न (U+00928) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char प (U+0092A) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ु (U+00941) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ं (U+00902) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char स (U+00938) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ः (U+00903) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ङ (U+00919) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ग (U+00917) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char े (U+00947) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ू (U+00942) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ज (U+0091C) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char । (U+00964) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ञ (U+0091E) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char क (U+00915) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char म (U+0092E) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char र (U+00930) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing fonts > checking > char ऽ (U+009

Yeah, I kmow about using e.g. AsciiDoc(tor)’s docbook5 backend to export
to DocBook which can be used as input format in Pandoc, but the problem
is if I would liek to e.g. use Pandoc to create e.g. reveal.js
presentation, then AsciiDoc input is of no help, since one can only do:

Hmmm…do you use XML as *source* authoring format? I did try to play with
some XML editors in the past and a bit with XSL stylesheets, but never
found it as pleasnt experience, so I’m really curios to know more about
your XML format usage?

I must admit that in one sense ConTeXt (TeX) is a clear winner. After I
did two books using LyX/LaTeX I am simply spoiled with TeX’s typestting
quality and cannot easily settle for less. Moreover, ConTeXt is
certainly superior to LaTeX (despite of possible lack of more docs), so
on one hand I can imagine that producing one presentation every two week
would probably (hopefully) make me quite skillful in using ConTeXt (maybe
even MetaPost/MetFun), at least, presentation-wise[1]…iow. the more I’d use
ConText, the possibly initial (steeper) learning curve will pay off in
the long term.
Let me say that few days ago I stumbled upon interesting thread
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2016-09/msg1.html) on the
AUCTeX mailing list disccussing about possibility to improve general
user experince when writing ConTeXt using that Emacs package…Here is one
message which can be interesting not only for Hans:

[NTG-context] ’Undefined control sequence’ with basic example
Hello,
I had to prepare some text for my mother by extracting some portions
from her book (done in LyX/LaTeX) and now wanted to use it as example to
see the quality of job done by LuaTeX…
However, converting LyX —> LaTeX —> Pandoc –> ConTeXt failed and I tried
with the simple example
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startsection):
% mode=mkiv
\setuppapersize[A5]
\starttext
\startsection[
reference=sec:One,
title={Section One},
]
For a subsection, see \in{subsection}[sec:Two:Sec].
\stopsection
\startsection[
reference=sec:Two,
title={Section Two},
]
[a_variable={some value}]
a_variable=\quote{\structureuservariable{a_variable}}.
\startsubsection[
reference=sec:Two:Sec,
title={Here’s a subsection},
]
In this subsection there’s some text\ldots
\stopsubsection
\stopsection
\stoptext
but running it under Debian (Sid) gives:

Let me just say that I've decided to move to Spacemacs (it's RSI- friendly) along with Org-mode/Gnus etc. However, Emacs Lisp hacking is still just TODO, but wonder if you can share some tips for using AUCTeX with ConTeXt? reveal.js looks interesting, although, in general, I prefer non-JS stuff.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt vs Beamer
Hello, I have just checked that my first post to this list was more than 10yrs ago (end of 2002). Then I was working on some full-sized books and ended up with LyX/LaTex. Later, had few attempts to switch to ConTeXt, but as a result I reduced even my LyX/LaTeX usage and was using light markups like rst/AsciiDoc for my writing needs without higher-quality typesetting. Yesterday I had to help my wife to put together some medicine-related presentation for the meeting at her working place and used LyX/LaTeX with Beamer class. Considering that there might be need to do such thing more often in the future as well as possibility that I might have to produce lot of presentations for my public lectures/workshops based on philosophy (iow. no need of math), I am again in the position to consider ConTeXt, but this time mostly for presentations. I'm (well) aware of ConTeXt's advantage in the sense of being complete package without clashing of different packages which usually happens in LaTeX world, I wonder if someone can give some piece of advice to learn and/or switch ConTeXt for preparing presentations instead of learning lot of LaTeX packages? How does ConTeXt compare for the purpose vs LaTeX/Beamer? I'm on Linux (running Debian Sid) and use Vim as my primary editor so wonder if ConTeXt users recommend to e.g. prepare drafts of their documents like rst/AsciiDoc/markdown and then convert them into ConTeXt with tool(s) like Pandoc? Sincerely, Gour -- Therefore, without being attached to the fruits of activities, one should act as a matter of duty, for by working without attachment one attains the Supreme. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
