And I can’t accept that the option of exporting to XML would (more or less) drastically and needlessly change the print layout! At least _please_ make it an option!

In the meanwhile, you can do:

\startmode[export] \setupbackend[export=yes] \stopmode

and then run with `--mode=export` to get the export and without that option to get the print layout.

Aditya And, unfortunately, this "breaks" the PDF. Of course, one can always write a script that moves the PDF to a safe place, etc. but this is not ideal. normally you will run like "context --mode=export --result=myexport" or so where you wrap settings specific to an export in modes

I (can) run several "results" for most of my projects, e.g. lowres, print res, imposed (arranged) and epub. But I insist it makes no sense that (epub) export breaks image placement in the pdf. Why add another lengthy TeX run?

the more features we add to mtxrun the more complex it will become (and no one will use them then)

Hans, please, it’s not about adding features, it’s about an existing feature that unnecessarily influences/disables an other. Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
