Re: Apply a start/stop command pair to certain subsections

[Andreas Schneider <aksdb@gmx.de>]

You could take a look at my fork of Pablo's pandoc-xhtml:
https://github.com/aksdb/pandoc-xhtml

The basic idea is to use another step in between the generation: Pandoc 
-> XML -> PDF (since ConTeXt can read XML natively, given the 
appropriate environment file).

As you can see in the example Makefile, you should use pandoc with 
--section-divs which will (in my fork of pandoc-xhtml, not in the 
original) cause the use of \startchapter...\stopchapter, 
\startsection...\stopsection etc.

Therefore you can then also use \setuphead[chapter][insidesection=..., 
aftersection=...] and similar setups.

Best regards
Andreas
