My #1 "Wish List" item for ConTeXt is /allowing/ "stylesheets" at the
paragraph level. That would allow closer correspondence with what
CSS/CSS3, Scribus, ODT, EPUB3 &al do and make it much easier to write
transformation scripts whether XSLT, lua code, Perl code or whatever
favorite tool one wishes to use.
I envision something like (psuedo code):
\setupstylesheet[myparagraphstyle]
[font=AccanthisADF,
fontsize=12pt,
fontstyle=italic,
alignment=justified,
frame=no,
color=blue,
width=\textwidth,
&c ....
]
\starttext
\startparagraph[style=mystylesheet]
\input tufte
\stopparagraph
\input knuth
\stoptext
The output would have the tufte quote formatted according to my
stylesheet and knuth in whatever the global style is.
The style parameter in the start/stop paragraph would, of course, be
/optional/ so existing documents would be unchanged from current
behavior but allow the introduction of paragraph styles.
