If the algorithim is expressed mathematically, then all members of the 
TeX family share an elegant set of tools for typesetting the formulae 
etc.  TeX is the best product there is for that kind of typesetting, 
and Context is a part of  the TeX family. 

See "The TeXbook" for details.

Well, Fabrice is one of the world's foremost TeXperts (and author of fpTeX 
which includes ConTeXt and everything else) so I suspect he had something 
much more profound in mind (though I'm not sure what that is;->)

Nothing more than the kind of things you can find in well known
Algorithmics books: bold keywords, math style for mathematical
expressions, etc.

I have found most of what I needed in the current modules to typeset
programming languages.
