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:
Then I try to compile the test_context.tex file:
Which unfortunately results in an error:

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?
