Hello \Context folks,

I have wondered about the interoperability between Context and Latex.

As somebody who (previously) invested a lot of time into Latex, my migration to
Context (due to its emphasis on Lua) grew problematic once other commitments
grew.

The lack of Context support in Org-Mode has made me consider reverting
back to Latex.

However, I have  wondered if a possible shortcut is to compile a list of
the semantic differences between the two and attack it from there.

For example, the Context stub, 'From Latex to Context', gives some of the
distinctions:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/From_LaTeX_to_ConTeXt

... which then cites a 45 page pdf (which may (possibly) be a little out
of date, having been written in 2003):
http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt.pdf

Perhaps looking at Org-Modes Latex exporter and determining the Context
equivalent would help? After all, they should be satisfing equivalent requirements.

Even better, if a modern list of equivalents were in a locality suitable
for non Org-Mode users then it may become easier for users from either
communities to feed off eachothers work a little easier.

If I had a lot of time it would be wonderful to develop parsing
expression grammars to capture it all, irrespective of direction ... mmm time....

Best wishes,


Jonathan
