Hello,
I think that the best way is to put command syntax description just before its definition in the context file. This way it will be easier to keep it always in sync with the code. And most important point here is that it must be in sync always. If it is, then we can just generate cont-en.xml and other cont-xx.xml files, but also have a syntax checker!
Just imagine:
context --check-syntax myfile.tex
shows you which options or commands are experimental, deprecated, and which are unrecognized, and suggests the command or option to fix that.
What do you think?
The idea is not bad but who is going to do this? Hans implemented in mkiv the function to check assignments list of valid keys but this function isn't used because nobody writes the necessary lists which contexts requires to do these checks and the same will happen with the system you suggest.
Please, point me to the function you are talking about. Thanks, Marius
