Re: [NTG-context] Official file ending?

5 Feb 2020

      Ha, I was just writing about my confusion, thank you for clearing this up.

So how about I add those four to Wikipedia and the ConTeXt wiki?

Since ConTeXT is closer to plain TeX than LaTeX, it is more legitimate
to got the "dot tex" than latex :)

Since there are already *.mkxl files in the ConTeXt distribution, I
    think it may make sense to name the LMTX version MkXL.
In any case, MkXL is simpler and clearer that MkIV with LMTX.
mkiv (four)   : files that expect mkiv (or lmtx)
mkvi (six)    : mkiv (or lmtx) files that pass a filter
mkxl (fourty) : files that expect lmtx
mklx (sixty)  : lmtx files that pass a filter
(there are some more, like template files and so)
I suppose that latex syntax highlighting filters support tex and sty and
maybe suffixes i'm noti aware of. So a context specific highlighter
could support mkiv, mkvi, mkxk and mkvi. At least that's what I do here.
