Hi all,
I'm currently trying to improve the ConTeXt output generated by pandoc, the document convert. There are two questions that we haven't decided on, and I'd be grateful to receive some feedback from ConTeXt experts on these issues:
1. As far as I understand, the `\section` syntax currently produced by pandoc should be considered mkii legacy syntax. We're likely going to switch to the modern `\startsection`/`\stopsection` syntax instead. Are there any concerns about retiring the old syntax? (Side note: pandoc already produces the new syntax, but only when called with `--section-divs`.)
We keep compatibility as much as possible although there are of course exceptions (like: we don't need font encodings in mkiv and we hav eopentype fonts there). So it si quit elikely that these commands will stay forever.
2. Similarly, I'd like to start wrapping paragraphs with `\startparagraph`/`\stopparagraph`. It is important for me to get properly tagged PDF, but this would also make the output more verbose. Is that something that you would find bothering, or do you see adding the extra environment by default as an acceptable practice?
I assume not that many users see (or manipulate) the output so it is harmless.
Of course, I'd also be happy to get other suggestions on how to improve pandoc's ConTeXt support.
Thanks in advance,
Albert
