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.

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
$endif$
%%%%%%%

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

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.

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:

    \definefont[Test][file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf at 10pt]
    \definefont[TestOne][file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf at 10pt]

    \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Pagella]
        [tf={file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf},
         bf={file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf}]

    \setupbodyfont[mainface]
    \starttext
    normal\\
    \bf bold not working\\

    \Test this works
    \TestOne this works
    \stoptext

 The second one would be to allow method=uppercase 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,
I’m quite quiet at the moment, because I can access my mailing list 
address only via inconvenient webmail; since I updated MacOS, neither 
Apple Mail nor Thunderbird will take my password anymore... :-((
Besides, I’m currently well paid for working with LaTeX, and my other 
projects get less time.


Anyway, one of our authors finally submitted her final corrections, 
and "of course" my ConTeXt setup that still worked well in May doesn’t 
behave any more:

* stacked layers won’t work on the first page (there should be a title 
bar above an image; it works on the back cover, but not on the front; 
but I can enable one of both layers)

That might be related to:

* on some right pages, including p.1 (cover), crop marks are shifted 
one page width to the right.

* on some pages, crop marks are shifted vertically; might be related 
to using \offset for image placement.

I’m trying to cook up MWEs, but the behaviour is so strange and 
irregular, that I don’t know if I can reproduce it in a simpler 
environment... I suspect my combined use of postponing, makeups, 
layers and \offset might have grown side effects since May.

Any ideas?

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
