[Scons-dev] Built-in support for ConTeXt

[Maggyero]

Dear developpers,


Thank you for SCons, it is really a wonderful tool.

Could you add a built-in support for ConTeXt? Since there is already a
support for Plain TeX and LaTeX, only ConTeXt flavour is missing. ConTeXt
format and its native engine LuaTeX (same developpers: Hans Hagen and Taco
Hoekwater) are becoming very popular so the format should definitely be
supported by SCons. I have looked a little bit into SCons' sources and I
think it just requires a few extra lines according to the the way (PDF)TeX
and (PDF)LaTeX tools and scanners are implemented (the (PDF)ConTeXt scanner
only has to query for \usemodule instead of \usepackage and the produced
extra file extensions are [.log, .tuc] instead of [.aux, .fls, .lof, .log,
.lot, .out, .tex, .toc]).

And if it is already planned, what would be the release date, at least
approximately?


Best regards.
