One more observation on the strangeness of \setuppagenumber. Putting \setuppagenumber[number=4] before the call to \xmlprocessbuffer and putting \setuppagenumber[state=stop,number=8] inside the \startxmlsetups does make the pagenumber having the value 8. This proves two things: (1) the \setuppagenumber in the \startxmlsetups is processed before the pagenumber is fixed and typeset (2) the [state=stop] in the \startxmlsetups is wrongfully ignored, whereas at the same time [number=8] does get honored. Imho this demonstrates there is an error in the processing of \setuppagenumber when located inside the \startxmlsetups. An error that does not occur when called at the \starttext document-level before the \xmlprocessbuffer. Could it be a matter of locality?

However with the following order of statements the pagenumber does get suppressed. \starttext \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \xmlprocessbuffer{dvd}{xmlbuffer}{} \stoptext In both cases the call to \setuppagenumber comes before typesetting the page. Why is the \setuppagenumber inside the xmlsetup ignored?

Not so simple, alas. But I will be greatly helped if you can ascertain that \startxmlsetups code within \stopxmlsetups is code executed locally as if between \begingroup .. \endgroup. That would explain the behaviour. The remedy then could be a more global execution of \setuppagenumber. I already tried in vain \global\settuppagenumber Hans van der Meer
