[NTG-context] Re: Passing the name of an XML file to process via the command line

Just coming back to this to say after further testing, for anyone copying in future, actually you can lose some of your setups if you just strip the \starttext \xmlprocessfile ... \stoptext from the environment file completely. Wolfgang's original recipe solves that problem. On Mon, 30 Jun 2025 at 19:51, Duncan Hothersall wrote:

Thanks both. I stripped out the \starttext \xmlprocessfile ... \stoptext from my tex file and just used the command line invocation as suggested and it worked perfectly. So I've learned two things for the price of one!

Thanks again.

Do you actually need \xmlprocessfile{...}{\inputfilename}{} ?

I just use context --environment=mytexfile myxmlfile.xml and it works just fine.

Hello list. I feel this should be an easy question to answer but I couldn't find a hint.

I have a ConTeXt file which pulls in an XML file for processing using the command

\xmlprocessfile{mydomain}{myXMLfile.xml}{}

I would like instead to call context with the XML file name in the command line (so that I can use the same ConTeXt setups on multiple XML sources).

How can I do that?

\xmlprocessfile{...}{\inputfilename}{}

and process it with

context --environment=mytexfile myxmlfile.xml
