Does anyone want to work on getting gettext-volt to understand contexts? #71

Hello I am the creator and maintainer of gettext-volt. At the time that I created gettext-volt the umbrella xgettext-template project didn't support "contexts" and so I didn't add it. Admittedly, I don't exactly understand what they are used for but others have asked for them and apparently they must be useful or necessary.

So if anyone would like to help out we have been accumulating some donation funds over at https://opencollective.com/phalcon and at the moment we have thousands of dollars its going up at a consistent rate. I don't control those funds but I created the original Patreon effort and I can help to push for someone getting paid to improve this, if money is a motivating factor. Just submit the pay funding request and we can take it from there. Its not necessary to even run Phalcon or Volt but just to parse out the templates and there are already some tests there.

Thanks.

Awesome! Thanks for the update. @eldarc, this is connected to the "recent" changes related to keywords. Feel free to have a go at it if you have time.

I use Volt and I just pass -L Swig instead of Volt, the syntax is absolutely the same (regarding blocks and functions) so it works like a charm, plus contexts are supported. The only thing missing is comment extraction, but it's because that feature is missing altogether.
