That's another intriguing approa= ch, Andr=C3=A9s, thank you.

The approach faces som= e hurdles. First, the template file (main.tex) is written in ConTeXt, so it= never sees the YAML variables, nor can it be used to interpret pandoc'= s conditional expressions. Second, moving the \completecontent macro out of= main.tex and into Markdown (e.g., 01.md, being the first chapter) so that = the conditional expression can be evaluated using pandoc mixes content with= presentation logic.

Modes are a good approach in = this case because the "context" command can take a "mode&quo= t; command-line argument. This provides presentation controls that neither = the YAML nor the Markdown need consider. Adding presentation logic to the C= onTeXt template (i.e., introducing \startmode and \startnotmode into main.t= ex) is acceptable because ConTeXt is wholly responsible for the appearance = of the final document. See: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modes

This th= en allows development of command-line arguments from shell scripts to contr= ol how the document is presented when built, which is a little bit more fle= xible than maintaining YAML variables. Also, ideally, the YAML variables wo= uld be used for controlling only content, not presentation logic.

Thanks again, Andr=C3=A9s.

Why not simply omit \compltecontent from the pandoc template?

Thank you Aditya.

The main.tex file is meant to be reusable for different document styles. By=
removing \completecontent altogether from the main template, it would
preclude a different document from reusing the main.tex template with a
table of contents. I'd like the template to be "reusable"; ma= king
modifications to "main.tex" --- or creating a copy --- would subv= ert that
goal.

Pandoc allows that. For example, see line 140 of the default context
template:

https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-tem= plates/blob/master/default.context

I don't remember the exact command line parameters for pandoc that set =
the toc flag to true.

An equivalent method will be to control this using a ConTeXt mode.
Redefining \completecontent to \empty seems too drastic.

Hi Wolfgang,

I have two requests to be implemented in \definefontfamily.

The first one is that is able to load fonts not defined as entries in
the font database.

Here you have a minimal sample:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \definefont[Test][file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf at 10pt] =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \definefont[TestOne][file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf at 1= 0pt]

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Pagella]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 [tf=3D{file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf},
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0bf=3D{file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf= }]

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \setupbodyfont[mainface]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \starttext
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 normal\\
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \bf bold not working\\

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \Test this works
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \TestOne this works
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \stoptext

=C2=A0The second one would be to allow method=3Duppercase to
\definefallbackfamily, so it could be used to fake small caps (such as
in https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg= -context/2018/092878.html.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

i'll look into it (irr in generic mode (latex etc) one can disable that=
'feature' which i thought happened)

Hi all,

afaik nothing fundamental changed in these areas (ok, maybe you operate out of the formal functionality) ... of course, if you're using lmtx it=
might be that something got fixed in there, as at that moment it was
more experimental than it is now
