Re: [NTG-context] mathcal generates error in ConTeXt

Hi Jan, Thanks, I was starting to think pandoc is not yet mature enough to handle these conversions, but it looks like that might not be the case. \mathcal works now, but I actually ran into another issue in my real document. I have the following defined in my LaTeX: *$C = ``\textrm{dad}``$* It looks like context has a hard time compiling the above, even with \starttext and \stoptext commands generated with the pandoc -s flag. Here's the error: *The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never* *\def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined.* *mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1* How can I include quotes in math expressions the same way I do in LaTeX?

HI!

It generates no \starttext \stoptext tag

It works with this though

\starttext

$\mathcal{A}$

\stoptext

But with the -s option you get a standalone version of the document

*pandoc -s -f latex -t context -o test_context.tex test.tex*

Dear All,

I am using pandoc to covert a file called test.tex from LaTeX to ConTeXt. Here are the contents of test.tex:

*\documentclass{article}*

*\begin{document}*

*\mathcal{A}*

*\end{document}*

The file compiles OK with the following command and I see a resulting pdf:

*latexmk -pdflatex test.tex*

Then I try to convert with pandoc:

*pandoc -f latex -t context -o test_context.tex test.tex*

Pandoc appears to successfully generate a file test_context.tex containing the following:

*\mathcal{A}*

Then I try to compile the test_context.tex file:

*context test_context.tex*

Which unfortunately results in an error:

*resolvers | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': C:/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/luametatex --jobname="./test_context.tex" --fmt=C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.fmt --lua=C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.lui --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test_context.tex" --c:input="./test_context.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:texmfbinpath="C:/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin"*

Why does ConTeXt not accept mathcal? Why does pandoc not account for this? How can I remedy this with a reasonable amount of effort?
