[NTG-context] FYI: created with LMTX

The story at the end tells a bit about LMTX and how it was done (it's about 
2500 lines of lua to parse the XML and produce the LMTX statements, and about 
3500 lines of METAPOST/Metafun to produce the graphics).

I have written some plugins for context that I use. Basically, a 
compiler plugin, a syntax highlight (I could not get spell checking to 
work with Nikolai's syntax hightlight file, and I want slightly 
differnt syntax highlighting), an indent file, copied part of 
vim-latex that translates `a to \alpha (in utf), a text reformatter 
that recognizes context delimiters (vim's inbuild paragraph makers 
only understand troff markup), mappings to compile, check, and view 
pdf files from F-key mappings, and a menu to for couple of less used 
options (context update, regenerate formats, etc.). I also have a 
regex mess that aligns key=value kind of arguments.

I never completely liked latex-suite's environment expanders, i.e., 
EEQ expands to \begin{equation} .. \end{equation}. Recently, I 
discovered snippetEmu, that allows textmate like snippets in vim, and 
I have been experimenting using it for few commonly using snippets. 
There are a few quirks, but so far I like it.

Most of this is pretty simple. There is no support for multi-file 
compilations (like latex-suite), no replace environment, the 
errorformat handler does not always work, the indent file is not fail 
proof (gg=G will not give good results). And nothing is customizable. 
Things are how I like them. I haven't been able to figure out how to 
port texshow to vim, and how to get omni-completion to work. There is 
no tags support either. If others are interested, I could release 
it as a poor man's context-suite for vim, until someone does the whole 
thing in a proper manner.

However, I am not convinced on how useful such a package will be. If 
you keep things uncustomizable, not many people will like it. If you 
keep them customizable, it usually becomes a mess. Cream is the only 
plugin for vim that I know which is customizable and easy to use. 
Others, latex-suite, taglist, project manager, are just too 
complicated to use.

All the vim latex suite is really doing is packaging a bunch of (not
very good) plugins.  It wouldn't require much work to do something
similar for context.  But I'm not the guy for that, sorry.

This does not affect me or many of us but it's good to know the vibes out  
there.
