However the plain TeX format from the standalone does not produce anything with the following minimal example: %%% begin test-plaintex.tex This is intended to test Plain \TeX\ from the ConTeXt stand-alone. An elementary identity: $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$. And a well-known identity due to Leonhard Euler in which the five most important numbers appear: $$ {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0, \qquad \hbox{where }\; {\rm i} := \sqrt{-1}. $$ \bye %%% end test-plaintex.tex Saying in the Terminal: mtxrun --script plain basic-plaintex.tex results in mtx-plain | running command 'luatex --fmt=luatex-plain "basic-plaintex.tex »’ This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) \write18 enabled. What is going on? (The above file typsets without problem with Plain TeX from TeX Live 2014). Best regards: OK
