Thank you. I still don't really understand why can't you have a
"presentational" yaml file and a "content" yaml file (I do it like that...
I have a "variables.yaml" file for content and a "settings.yaml" file for
presentational stuff, and use a "template.context" file with all my mapped
variables within the ConTeXt code, and compile everything using pandoc).
But I guess you want to do it this way. Or maybe I'm not really
understanding your process. It's quite interesting in any case, and I'm
learning a lot. Thanks for sharing.

That's another intriguing approach, Andrés, thank you.

The approach faces some 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" command-line argument. This provides presentation controls
that neither the YAML nor the Markdown need consider. Adding presentation
logic to the ConTeXt template (i.e., introducing \startmode and
\startnotmode into main.tex) is acceptable because ConTeXt is wholly
responsible for the appearance of the final document. See:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modes

This then allows development of command-line arguments from shell scripts
to control how the document is presented when built, which is a little bit
more flexible than maintaining YAML variables. Also, ideally, the YAML
variables would be used for controlling only content, not presentation
logic.

Thanks again, Andrés.

Re: Typesetting Markdown – Part 5: Interpolation

[Andres Conrado]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 13904 bytes --]

You can do it on the template... you can use a yaml variable to determine
if the toc should be printed or not. Like so:

yaml file:
---
toc: true
...

template file:
%%%%%%%
$if(toc)$
\completecontent
$endif$
%%%%%%%

Re: Typesetting Markdown – Part 5: Interpolation

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1810 bytes --]

Thanks again for the great ideas. The downside is that it comes with a lot
of extra ConTeXt setup code. My understanding is that the toc parameter to
pandoc only works when creating a standalone document. I think
\def\completecontent\empty is a bit more expressive of intent than
\def\completecontent{}. Modes are probably the way to go, though.

Thank you.

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

https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/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.

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"; making
modifications to "main.tex" --- or creating a copy --- would subvert that
goal.

Why not simply omit \compltecontent from the pandoc template?

Typesetting Markdown – Part 5: Interpolation

[Thangalin]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 429 bytes --]

Hello again!

This part of the series describes how to reference *interpolated* strings
inside Markdown documents.
https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/07/06/typesetting-markdown-part-5/

There's a section at the end about eliminating the table of contents from a
reusable document template. I would have preferred using setups, rather
than redefining the \completecontent macro, but didn't see an obvious way
to do so.

Thoughts?
