Hi, is there a first-line comment directive or a \setupoutput[] parameter to force usage of XeTeX just like the --xtx commandline switch? Consider the following document: ---------------------- % ??? = xetex??? \starttext This is a piece of text \stoptext ---------------------- I just experimentally tried "engine=xetex", "tex=xetex" and "output=xetex" on the first line. The first two actually launch XeTeX, but they bail out with the comment "you should use pdfetex instad" and a \wait command, and the last one runs pdfetex instead and produces a DVI file. Philipp

% engine=xetex should work ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

% engine=xetex
should work
Doesn't work for me. Test document: ------ xetex-invocation-engine.tex-------- % engine=xetex \starttext This is a piece of text \stoptext ------------------------------------------- And I get the attached results from 'texexec xetex-invocation-engine.tex'. Looks like for some reason ConTeXt still assumes PDFTeX somewhere and loads spec-tpd.tex.
