Hello \Context folks, I have wondered about the interoperability between Context and Latex.
As somebody who (previously) invested a lot of time into Latex, my migration to Context (due to its emphasis on Lua) grew problematic once other commitments grew. The lack of Context support in Org-Mode has made me consider reverting back to Latex. However, I have wondered if a possible shortcut is to compile a list of the semantic differences between the two and attack it from there. For example, the Context stub, 'From Latex to Context', gives some of the distinctions: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/From_LaTeX_to_ConTeXt ... which then cites a 45 page pdf (which may (possibly) be a little out of date, having been written in 2003): http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt.pdf Perhaps looking at Org-Modes Latex exporter and determining the Context equivalent would help? After all, they should be satisfing equivalent requirements. Even better, if a modern list of equivalents were in a locality suitable for non Org-Mode users then it may become easier for users from either communities to feed off eachothers work a little easier. If I had a lot of time it would be wonderful to develop parsing expression grammars to capture it all, irrespective of direction ... mmm time....
