Dear All,

I am using pandoc to covert a file called test.tex from LaTeX to ConTeXt.
Here are the contents of test.tex:

*\documentclass{article}*

*\begin{document}*

*\mathcal{A}*

*\end{document}*

The file compiles OK with the following command and I see a resulting pdf:


*latexmk -pdflatex test.tex*

Then I try to convert with pandoc:

*pandoc -f latex -t context -o test_context.tex test.tex*

Pandoc appears to successfully generate a file test_context.tex containing
the following:

*\mathcal{A}*

Then I try to compile the test_context.tex file:

*context test_context.tex*

Which unfortunately results in an error:

*<line 3.1>*

*1 >>  $\mathcal{A}$*
*2*
*Somewhere in the math formula just ended, you used the stated character
from an*
*undefined font family. For example, plain TeX doesn't allow \it or \sl in*
*subscripts. Proceed, and I'll try to forget that I needed that character.*
*mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 1*


Why does ConTeXt not accept mathcal? Why does pandoc not account for this?
How can I remedy this with a reasonable amount of effort?
