Hi again,
I've added the start of a podman container for invoking ConTeXt that may be of interest:
https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite/tree/main/container
The Containerfile sets up ConTeXt to work with my themes:
https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes
The manage.sh shell script is a wrapper around the podman command to help build, save, and load the container, as well as connect and run commands. It's a work-in-progress.
My goal is to simplify the setup and configuration of ConTeXt as well as make the instructions "cross platform" owing to containerization. From there, I want to call out to the container from KeenWrite to typeset PDF documents using one of the themes. Further, I'd like to have KeenWrite download and install ConTeXt automatically using podman. I believe this will make it easier for people to generate high-quality PDFs from (R) Markdown documents because they'd only have to download KeenWrite, then ask KeenWrite to download/configure ConTeXt automatically, in a cross-platform fashion.
