Pandoc
Pandoc can convert many markup languages to ConTeXt
Converting to ConTeXt
Use the following options
-t context+ntb
for natural table format or-t context
(extreme table format is default)-s
for a standalone file (setup are added in the setup area). Without the output will miss some setups to be ready for ConTeXt compilation.
pandoc -s -t context+ntb input.md -o input.tex
pandoc --standalone --to=context+ntb input.md --output input.tex
Creating a PDF
By default, pandoc will use LaTeX to create the PDF, which requires that a LaTeX engine be installed (see --pdf-engine below). Alternatively, pandoc can use ConTeXt, roff ms, or HTML as an intermediate format. To do this, specify an output file with a .pdf extension, as before, but -t context
to the command line (the tool used to generate the PDF from the intermediate format may be specified using --pdf-engine).
pandoc -t context+ntb input.org -o input.pdf
ConTeXt always produces tagged PDFs, but the quality depends on the input. The default ConTeXt markup generated by pandoc is optimized for readability and reuse, not tagging. Enable the tagging format extension to force markup that is optimized for tagging. This can be combined with the pdfa variable to generate standard-compliant PDFs. E.g.:
pandoc -s -t context+ntb+tagging -V pdfa=3a input.org --output input.pdf
Customizing
TODO: demo how to use your own environment files, and to use the pandoc variables (See: To-Do List) |
Org Mode and ox-context
- ox-context is a ConTeXt exporter for Org Mode.
Use of pandoc via the filter module
This demo, with Markdown Org Mode and reStructuredText, can not be rendered on this wiki nor on context-on-web.eu server because pandoc is required.
But try on your computer:
\usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter [markdown] [filtercommand={pandoc -t context -f markdown -o \externalfilteroutputfile\space \externalfilterinputfile}] \defineexternalfilter [orgmode] [filtercommand={pandoc -t context -f org -o \externalfilteroutputfile\space \externalfilterinputfile}] \defineexternalfilter [rst] [filtercommand={pandoc -t context -f rst -o \externalfilteroutputfile\space \externalfilterinputfile}] \starttext %============================================================================== \startmarkdown # Heading level 1 with Markdown Text with **bold text**. ## Heading level 2.1 * item 1 * item 2  \stopmarkdown \page %============================================================================== \startorgmode * Heading level 1 with Org-mode Text with *bold text*. ** Heading level 2.1 - item 1 - item 2 #+CAPTION: the GNU mascot [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Official_gnu.svg/768px-Official_gnu.svg.png]] \stoporgmode \page %============================================================================== \startrst Heading level 1 with reStructuredText ===================================== Text with **bold text**.
