OTOH user-defined commands can be added to the ConTeXt lexer via the Style Configurator (Notepad++) and get their own highlight color. I have found this very useful in writing long documents. See attached (User-defined Keywords dialog).

You can limit the number of custom commands when you use

\startnamedsection[topic][title=...]

instead of

\starttopic[title=...]

First time encountering these two commands; they're not on the wiki, need to learn more about them..

Can you explain or give a complete sample test file illustrating how they apply in the matter under discussion? Thanks. This is only a example to demonstrate that you can create new commands without using new command names (and the need to add them to your lexer) in your document.

In the example below I create a new section but I don’t have to use a new user generated command in the document itself.

\definehead[topic][subject]

\starttext

\startnamedsection[topic][title=This is a topic] ... \stopnamedsection

\stoptext

I see your point. Will make a note of it for the lexer documentation.

Adding tags to the commands is planned but the question is how to categorize them (internal, api, user level, low level, primitives, defininitions (\define...), setups etc.).

This is good to know. At the moment we're working on a full-featured ConTeXt lexer and are experimenting with different ideas of organizing commands for user-friendly syntax highlighting. Currently considering something like the following:

TeX primitives - Knuth luaTeX primitives - excluding Knuth The syntax files contain at the moment only ConTeXt specific command, primitives aren’t included.

Sure, we get the TeX and luaTeX commands from the scite*.lua files

macro structure - e.g., sectioning etc. micro structure - e.g., itemizations, tables etc. mode structure - e.g., metapost, xml, markdown The XML source has a category attribute for this information.

Could you give a couple of examples? Below is a example for \m{…}.
