Dear Pablo, dear list
That's great, thank you very much for your suggestion. That seems to me to be a very elegant solution to the next two problems that were actually still ahead of me.
And now to my initial question, which I didn't specify precisely enough.
I have the following workflow in mind: 1. I have an XML file (TEI-XML), 2. then, following your brilliant suggestion, I will create an xml-analyze-template.tex file and customise it. 3. As you suggest, now one would actually use context --environment xml-analyze-template.tex file.xml to typeset in a pdf file. But I would like to convert all the XML nodes into the ConTeXt typesetting language, and then edit/correct the text and maybe some structure in this *.tex file.
And here comes my question: Can I use context to convert my XML-file 'file.xml' into a ConTeXt-file 'file.tex' instead of typesetting it as a 'file.pdf'.
What do you want to tweak. HEre is the lowest level approach: <?xml version='1.0'?> <whatever> <p>test 1</p> <?context-tex-directive start ?> <?context-tex-directive red ?> <p>test 2</p> <?context-tex-directive stop ?> <p>test 3</p> </whatever> But quite some can be done when processing and there are mechanisms to inject e.g. page breaks using processing instruction. Probablyh not all is documented. There is a xml-mkiv-tricks.tex file in the distribution (no pdf is seems so I need to add that one.)
