Sorry, there was a typo in my question below. test.tex looks like this:
*\documentclass{article}*
*\begin{document}*
*$\mathcal{A}$*
*\end{document}*

Subject: mathcal generates error in ConTeXt
To:
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':

*Somewhere in the math formula just ended, you used the stated character

*subscripts. Proceed, and I'll try to forget that I needed that character.*

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

Amine
