Many texteditors have treesitter support builtin so having a ConTeXt grammar would be nice.

Now, if you could explain me how to install this in Pulsar?

Hi,

I tried to write one some time ago but it seems my knowledge of ConTeXt was insufficient. I gave up. I also think it would be nice.

If I can recall, one of the first problems I ran into concerned how ConTeXt environments work (among other things I cannot recall). In LaTeX, you have something like: \begin{theorem} When you are writing the grammar, you can clearly separate the tokens into '', 'begin', '{' and '}'. So you get a consistent object that the tree-sitter library can work with. But with ConTeXt, you have something like this: \startTheorem We know that it is actually made up of '', 'start' and 'Theorem'. But there is nothing separating the latter two so I couldn't find a way to make it general enough across board because of how configurable ConTeXt is (we have very few pre-defined environments). So I went with \start[theorem]. I am very sure it was my skill but just some thoughts from someone who tried in the past.

Maybe we could benefit from pre-converting the source file to an XML-like tree before applying the grammar? At which point you are venturing into LSP territory...
