I see. But there's no command that could be used to simulate an empty line? If not, me should I perhaps try to replicate the wrapper structure from the XML source in context? (I'll also look into the format module of course.) What do you think?

Below is a different solution to your problem with works without \startlines because you already mark up each individual line in the poem which make it possible to add a linebreak in the output.

With \blank options (samepage) you can avoid pagebreaks between stanzas.

\startxmlsetups xml:test \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{doc|poem|stanza|line}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:test}

\startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:poem \blank[line] \xmlflush{#1} \blank[back,line] \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:stanza \xmlflush{#1}\blank[preference,line] \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:line \xmlflush{#1}\blank[samepage,none] \stopxmlsetups

\startbuffer[test] <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes?> <doc> <poem> <stanza> <line>The</line> <line>lines</line> <line>are</line> <line>there!</line> </stanza> <stanza> <line>The</line> <line>lines</line> <line>are</line> <line>there!</line> </stanza> <stanza> <line>The</line> <line>lines</line> <line>are</line> <line>there!</line> </stanza> </poem> </doc> \stopbuffer

\starttext

\samplefile{lorem}

\xmlprocessbuffer{test}{test}{}

\samplefile{lorem}

\stoptext

Thanks for this solution. I've had a quick look, and it seems to do exactly what I need. My requirements are rather simple at the moment, but that should be sufficient, but to repeat Hraban's question: What would be the advantage of using the format module? Thanks again for your help, Denis
