In the past, I have tried to create some simple content (slides) with Markdown, but my conclusion was that if you know TeX, it doesn't make sense to use Markdown :) Perhaps this is a silly question (excuse my ignorance about the topic): what if you want to add some stylistic touches to your ebooks, such as initials? Or Non-breaking spaces? How about adding, say, a text box with a different background and a smaller font? *** Or fine control page numbering, headers, footnotes, ligatures, or the spacing between paragraphs, or center a separator as above? Do you need to modify the generated CSS for that, or would ConTeXt (or Pandoc) allow you to take care of (some of) those things?

You don't have to use proprietary tools. An easy way to create ebooks from Markdown files (or other sources) is Pandoc. https://pandoc.org/ I produce all of my ebooks in this way. In most cases they validate without errors. If there are some errors though I use Calibre to fix them manually.

Re: [NTG-context] Blank page inserted when text reaches column's end
Thank you both. Neither approach removes the blank page with either
version 2019.06.11 or 2019.12.06 on Linux. Is there a specific version
of ConTeXt required? The code to generate the document resembles:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,page=no]
\installpagebreakhandler{last}{}
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[n=2]
\input knuth \input lorem \input lorem \input knuth
\dorecurse{3}{No TV and no beer make Homer something something.}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
The second page remains, regardless of doublesided/singlesided or
pagebreakhandler.
Henri Menke pointed out that "page-cst.mkiv" contains an explicit line
break associated with stoppagegrid:
https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror/blob/f74c4055713ab52a11d12435eb04040ec6553129/tex/context/base/mkiv/page-cst.mkiv#L199-L201
Could this be grid itself be problematic?
Cheers!

Re: [NTG-context] Textbackground inside Layer?

You can't use "location=paragraph" because the argument of the \setlayer
command is a simple horizontal box which doesn't create a paragraph
unless you us additional command which create a paragraph.
\definelayer[testlayer]
\setlayer[testlayer][x=1cm,y=3cm]{%

Simpler method:
\setlayer
[testlayer]
[x=1cm,

{\framed[framecolor=red]{TEXT}}
or
\setlayerframed

[NTG-context] Ebooks with ConTeXt?
What is the current status of epub support in ConTeXt? I have never followed ConTeXt's development on the XML front too closely, but recently I have been asked to help format a text-only manuscript for publishing on platforms such as Kindle or Apple Books Store. Can ConTeXt be used (or perhaps even recommended) for that? Or would I have better luck with the proprietary tools (Kindle Create, iBooks Author)?

Dear Dalyoung, Thank you for the good news!

Re: [NTG-context] Line numbering in two column layout conflicts with marking
Any suggestions, how to solve this problem?
Am 02.12.19 um 20:06 schrieb Oliver von Criegern:
Dear list members,
line numbering in a two column layout apparently conflicts with the
marking mechanism.
Consider the following example:
\setupcolumns[n=2]
\setuplinenumbering
[
step=5,
method=page,
align=flushright,
]
\definemarking[Test]
\setupheadertexts[{\fetchmark[Test][top] -- \fetchmark[Test][bottom]}]
\startbuffer
\dorecurse{12}{words }
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startcolumns
\startlinenumbering
\marking[Test]{ONE}ONE \dorecurse{12}{\getbuffer}\par
\marking[Test]{TWO}TWO \dorecurse{29}{\getbuffer}\par
\marking[Test]{THREE}THREE \dorecurse{12}{\getbuffer}\par
\stoplinenumbering
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
In the result, the header of the first page reads "ONE -- THREE",
despite marking "THREE" being placed in the third line of the second
page.
Without linenumbering, the header of the first page reads "ONE --
TWO", as is to be expected.
Best regards,
Oliver
