Using quarto with ConTeXt

[juanriera]

Hello,
I'm trying to use quarto to produce some documents and I want to fine tune the PDF by editing .tex output, and then compiling with ConTeXt.. I'm new to ConTeXt, I know some LaTeX as I have used it to produce some documents in the past.

In quarto, I have set the context: context option and pdf-engine:lualatex in header, as it seems luametatex engine is not a valid option yet.

Quarto generates a .tex file correctly using lualatex engine, but no PDF. Then I can't compile that file with context. I get this error (showing first lines in .tex output from context compiling:

.tex first lines:

% Options for packages loaded elsewhere
\PassOptionsToPackage{unicode}{hyperref}
\PassOptionsToPackage{hyphens}{url}
\PassOptionsToPackage{dvipsnames,svgnames,x11names}{xcolor}

ConTeXt compilation error:

open source     > level 1, order 2, name './prueba_quarto_ConTeXt.tex'
tex error       > tex error on line 2 in file ./prueba_quarto_ConTeXt.tex: Undefined control sequence \undefined

<line 3.2>
    \PassOptionsToPackage
    {Unicode}{hyperref}

Maybe quarto is generating LaTeX output and not ConTeXt?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Solved: it was my bad interpretation of quarto header configuration to generate context output. The good one is simply:

---
title: "Testing Quarto with ConTeXt"
format: context
pdf-engine: context
editor: visual
----

Works like a charm.

Thanks for help!
