Hi Gour,
About a year ago i really got into Asciidoc, and use it at my work for technical writing.
I was aware of and was using Context for the layout/formatting that it provides. I have been using that on and off for about 7 years.
I came upon Pandoc about a couple of years ago for converting files to different formats.
In any conversions of formats, from one to another, IMO, the issue is the richness of one format and if that is converted to another format.
For me, i had some Context files, that had, for example, footnotes, within footnotes, within footnots. This is very doable in Context. Asciidoc, currently, does not support this multiple levels of footnotes, so, as i expected, converting Context -> Asciidoc, was not able to do this.
If i want to go from Asciidoc to Context, the bounds of asciidoc, imo, is a subset of what is possible in Context.
I don't know what the slide format is, and haven't used that.
My suggestions would be, as you are going from asciidoc to Context, make sure that you are happy with what you can do in asciidoc. Context should be able to readily handle a conversion from Pandoc.
hth,
Russ
