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
