Hi!
We’ve been working on adding LuaMetaTeX and ConTeXt standalone support for the
Markdown package (https://github.com/Witiko/markdown/pull/557) and encountered
an interesting issue.
The package loads quite a huge library — `expl3-code.tex` from `l3kernel`
package which eats a lot of time during compilation.
What would be a good way to mitigate this? Is there a way to pre-load the
library before compilation? Perhaps by making a custom ConTeXt format and
making it with `context --make`?
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a documentation on how to make your own custom
formats, hence this question.
Thank you in advance!
P.S. What is the process of adding thrid-party modules in the default list of
ConTeXt distribution (https://modules.contextgarden.net/)? I think Markdown
package might proof very useful for a lot of folks and worth considering to be
added in the list. What do you think?
