Generated ConTeXt fails to compile due to undefined control sequence startenumerate

[vedranmiletic]

Explain the problem.

Consider the following document.md:

1. a
1. b

Pandoc 2.16.1 generates the following ConTeXt

$ pandoc --to context -o document.tex document.md

\startenumerate[n,packed][stopper=.]
\item
  a
\item
  b
\stopenumerate

This fails to compile:

$ context document.tex

The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never
\def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Pandoc 2.9.2.1 generated the following:

\startitemize[n,packed][stopper=.]

\stopitemize

Pandoc version?

Pandoc 2.16.1 is downloaded from GitHub releases, 2.9.2.1 from Debian repos.

The code that's necessary for this to work is in the default template. Use the --standalone (or -s) flag to make pandoc embed the converted document into the template, and use pandoc -D context to see the raw template.

See #5016 for more info on the change.

Yup, that's it. Thanks for your help.
