Hi all, must be the heat here in Germany - I'm all out of ideas, and I have no example yet. Maybe someone can help: is it possible to define an xml setup that will run arbitrary tex code? Something like this (obviously pseudo-code): in a TeX file MyInputs.tex which will be loaded at runtime, I have: \startTEXbuffer[mybuffer] \color[red]{Hello World!} \stopTEXbuffer in the xml, I have <gettexbuffer>mybuffer</gettexbuffer> and in the setups \input MyInputs \startxmlsetups xml:gettexbuffer \getTEXbuffer[\xmlflush{#1}] \stopxmlsetups I tried with simple \startbuffer[mybuffer] ... \getbuffer[mybuffer], but the result is that the TeX code is typeset verbatim, not processed (problem of catcodes?). Any takers before I pull myself together and try to come up with an example? Thanks! Thomas
