Apply a start/stop command pair to certain subsections

Apply a start/stop command pair to certain subsections

[Tom Harrop]

Hello,

I'm a new Context user, and I have a question about conditional 
formatting of paragraphs.

I'm typsetting a CV. I am using pandoc to generate the .tex file from 
Markdown before compiling the pdf with context. Because pandoc inserts 
the body of the document from one variable ($body), I would like to 
avoid using e.g. \startmycommand and then \stopmycommand to modify 
individual subsections.

What I can do from Markdown is tag the headings, so that (for example) 
the "Publications" subsection starts as 
"\subsection[pubs]{Publications}". I would like to know if there is a 
way to automatically apply a start/stop command pair to the "pubs" 
subsection(s), or if it better to do this with an external script that 
modifies the .tex file before I call context.

Below is an example where I can get the output I'm looking for 
(paragraphs in the "pubs" subsection have a hanging indent) by defining 
a start/stop command pair and manually applying it to the "pubs" 
subsection.

If anyone has any tips to apply this automatically to the "pubs" 
subsection(s) but not the "text" subsections, I'd appreciate it! I have 
searched the wiki, read through the "Context: an excursion" document and 
looked around in the mail archive and stackexchange, but I didn't find 
exactly what I want.

Many thanks for reading,

Tom Harrop

---Example below---

\definestartstop [negindent] [
   before={%
     \startnarrower[left]%
     \setupindenting[-\leftskip,yes,first]%
     \setuphead[subsection][indentnext=yes]%
   },
   after=\stopnarrower,
]

\starttext

\subsection[text]{Normal text}

I would like the text in this subsection to appear without indents.

In the following subsection I need hanging indents.

\startnegindent

\subsection[pubs]{Publications}

\stopnegindent

\subsection[text]{More text}

This subsection should be back to normal.

\stoptext

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
