Interesting. I usually use pandoc for converting my Markdown, which goes via LaTeX. Is there a specific reason you picked ConTeXt?

- thangalin 2mo ago> I usually use pandoc for converting my Markdown See my Typesetting Markdown series: https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/05/22/typesetting-markdown-part-1/ https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/05/22/typesetting-markdow... > Is there a specific reason you picked ConTeXt? LaTeX: * doesn't (easily, or practically) separate content from presentation; * has arcane, antiquated syntax; * packages can have namespace conflicts (rare, but happens); * requires package installation for additional features. ConTeXt, being monolithic and newer, avoids all those issues. The feature matrix lists a number of samples typeset with ConTeXt: https://keenwrite.com/blog/2025/09/08/feature-matrix/ https://keenwrite.com/blog/2025/09/08/feature-matrix/ FWIW, pandoc has the ability to generate ConTeXt code.
