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'.

Hi Christoph,
not clear to me whether you meant an environment (a format file) with the ConTeXt generated file.
In that case, this might help:
context --extra=xml --analyze --template your-file.xml
With that template, you may run:
context --environment=xml-analyze-template.tex your-file.xml
BTW, there are two typos in xml-analyze-template.tex (lines 8-9):
- \startxmlsetup should read \startxmlsetups. - \xmlsetsetups should read \xmlsetsetup.
But consider that this only flushes text with no formatting (you will have all text in a single paragraph.
If this is not what you need, a more detailed (or simply more verbose) explanation) might help.
Just in case it might help,
Pablo
