Aah yes, how silly of me to forget to add \starttext... \stoptext! Thanks for your help. Best Wishes Keith On 06/06/2018 14:32, Hans Hagen wrote:

Dear List,
In my continuing effort to improve my ConTeXt skills I thought I would have a look at XML and ConTeXt. Note: I have no XML skills but, "in for a penny, in for a pound", as they say over here. I started by looking at the very first example on page 5 of "Dealing with XML in ConTeXt mkiv" and straight away hit a problem. There is a typo in the first line of the XML file which I corrected:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes?>
should be
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
However when I ran the file using the tex file it only produced a 3 page pdf with a contents page and 2 title pages and no other text.
Here is the XML file which is the similar to the one on page 5 but with two sections rather than one:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<document>
<section>
<title>Some title</title>
<content>
<p>a paragraph of text</p>
<p>another paragraph of text</p>
</content>
</section>
<section>
<title>Another title</title>
<content>
<p>a paragraph of text</p>
<p>another paragraph of text</p>
</content>
</section>
</document>
The TeX file is cut and pasted from pages 5 and 6 of xml-mkiv.pdf:
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:base
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{document|section|p|itemize|item}{xml:demo:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{xml:demo:base}
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:document
\starttitle[title={Contents}]
\placelist[chapter]
\stoptitle
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:section
\startchapter[title=\xmlfirst{#1}{/title}]
\xmlfirst{#1}{/content}
\stopchapter
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:p
\xmlflush{#1}\endgraf
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlprocessfile{demo}{demo.xml}{}
This seemed such a simple example and I'm a bit perplexed as to why it did not work. Can somebody explain why no paragraphs are showing up? I'm using:
ConTeXt ver: 2018.04.04 00:51 MKIV beta fmt: 2018.6.2 int: english/english
LuaTeX, Version 1.07.0 (TeX Live 2018)
Thanks and Best Wishes you need to add \starttext ... \stoptext
\startbuffer[demo] <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<document> <section> <title>Some title</title> <content> <p>a paragraph of text</p> <p>another paragraph of text</p> </content> </section> <section> <title>Another title</title> <content> <p>a paragraph of text</p> <p>another paragraph of text</p> </content> </section> </document> \stopbuffer
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:base \xmlsetsetup{#1}{document|section|p|itemize|item}{xml:demo:*} \stopxmlsetups
\xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{xml:demo:base}
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:document \starttitle[title={Contents}] \placelist[chapter] \stoptitle \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:section \startchapter[title=\xmlfirst{#1}{/title}] \xmlfirst{#1}{/content} \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:p \xmlflush{#1}\endgraf \stopxmlsetups
\starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{demo}{} \stoptext
