Hi!
Most text editors have LaTeX specific syntax highlighting, so it makes
sense to give your ConTeXt file a ending it can be distinguished with.
Is there a blessed one?
- .ctx: Would mirror the semi-common .ltx, but is used for XML files
inside of ConTeXt itself
- .mkiv: Is that just for ConTeXt or all LuaTeX stuff? Would it make
sense to give text documents that extension?
- Something else? (.tex doesn’t count, it’s shared with LaTeX files and
plain TeX files)
Best, Philipp

you can do that (or mkvi or lmtx or ...)

so then use mkiv

Why not just <FILE>.context

I would suggest to advertise with the ending another trademark that is not
a zero-entropy word in the programming world when not randomly capitalized,
and, if possible, that is not an everyday English word either.
Mkiv is a good choice for the moment. If there would be no Mkvi and so on,
it is good forever.

Since there are already *.mkxl files in the ConTeXt distribution, I
think it may make sense to name the LMTX version MkXL.
In any case, MkXL is simpler and clearer that MkIV with LMTX.

Since ConTeXT is closer to plain TeX than LaTeX, it is more legitimate to
got the "dot tex" than latex :)

I’d suggest to start a war to claim it…

mkiv (four) : files that expect mkiv (or lmtx)
mkvi (six) : mkiv (or lmtx) files that pass a filter
mkxl (fourty) : files that expect lmtx
mklx (sixty) : lmtx files that pass a filter
(there are some more, like template files and so)
I suppose that latex syntax highlighting filters support tex and sty and
maybe suffixes i'm noti aware of. So a context specific highlighter
could support mkiv, mkvi, mkxk and mkvi. At least that's what I do here.

Ha, I was just writing about my confusion, thank you for clearing this up.
So how about I add those four to Wikipedia and the ConTeXt wiki?

I always wonder where such info comes from. Plain tex is a 45K file that
is described in the tex book and serves as template for Don Knuths own
styles for his books. Much of it is dedicated to setting up fonts and
math. I think it was never meant to be a general purpose macro package
but serve as starting point and example of how to apply primitives.
Anyway, it's alway interesting to see folws coming up with descriptions
of context (or whatever relates to it) which then become kind of truths.
In todays terms we shouls say that 'the community has its own
influencers' and 'origins of fake news' and ...

Maybe not PlainTeX, but plain TeX.
E.g. we usually use TeX primitives like \def (even if we have \define), while with LaTeX you use \newcommand, similar with \vbox and others.
I understood LuaMetaTeX, as a stripped-down typesetting engine, would be closer to the spirit of Knuth’s TeX than a bloated pdfTeX/LuaTeX.
