I have some difficulties understanding the intake of ConTeXt-code in an XML processing environment. The setup is as follows. \startbuffer[buffername] \startuseMPgraphic{graphicname}{} .. \stopuseMPgraphic \stopbuffer Processing inside xmlsetup: \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:mpgraphic Here I want to read the buffer and then call it up with \useMPgraphic{graphicname}{} \stopxmlsetups This works if I pack the graphic definition in the buffer inside a <tex></tex> node and call \xmlprocessbuffer{tex}{\xmlatt{#1}{buffer}}{} where <tex> is a ConTeXt processing setup. This actuallty works, but has the drawback of putting the ConTeXt code inside <tex></tex> thereby makeing it difficult to reuse the definition of the graphic in a non XML-context. I thus want to get rid of the <tex></tex> enclosure. I tried things like \xmlloadbuffer{tex}{\xmlatt{#1}{buffer}} \xmlsetup{tex}{xmlcommon:tex} <== the tex processing xmlsetups But this does not work. Because the graphic in this case is not found by \useMPgraphic. Clearly I am misunderstanding some of the intricacies of the xmlloading macros and probably the solution is quite simple. But I cannot find the right way to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Hans van der Meer
