Hi Hust not to miss something or mess up every thing. Can i setup my document preamble such that i can without any switching create pdf and epub output at the same time.
Want to provide my lecture notes in pdf and epub format.
In other words does it have any side effects on pdf output, if i put \setuptoutput command preparing document for xhtml/epub output in my document preamble/main document?
Or would i have to enclose this in some \ifelse conditional block? If is there a possibility to control condition from mtxrun command line?

Currently it is created at the same time but it runs slower. Indeed using some mode makes sense because you might also want to have a different layout (the simpler, the less possible side effects, actually when doing epub or export using some very large page also makes sense as then there can be less interference of page breaks and so).
\startmode [epub] .... \stopmode
and then run with --mode=epub

Yes, it has (or at least used to have) side effects if you enable XML output – hyphenation and line breaking is affected.

I am running with: mtxrun --autogenerate --mode=epub --script context "$1" but no epub document is generated, just the same result.pdf I get without that mode.
In .bashrc using: # The current version of the ConTeXt luametatex in use: CONTEXTLMTX=$HOME/TeX/context-lmtx ; export CONTEXTLMTX CONTEXTCURRENT=$CONTEXTLMTX ; export CONTEXTCURRENT MYTEXMFHOME=$HOME/TeX/texmf ; export MYTEXMFHOME TEXMF=$MYTEXMFHOME:$CONTEXTCURRENT/tex ; export TEXMF PATH=$CONTEXTCURRENT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH ; export PATH
Log shows: ConTeXt ver: 2019.10.02 12:53 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.10.2
I am doing something wrong here?

You need
\setupbackend[export=yes]
in your document. When you put the setup above in a "epub" mode you create a epub-document only when you enable the mode which is recommended because it can have side effects for the normal PDF.
To avoid these side effects make an extra ConTeXt run by enabling the mode to get the epub file.

I followed your advice and added the setup:
You need \setupbackend[export=yes] in your document.
This, however, does not result in an .epub file but an export directory containing an html and xhtml file (only partially conformant to the equivalent pdf).
Can I get the output as an .epub file? Some more changes needed?

Your log file should have a line like this when you put the \setupbackend setting in your document:
backend > export > create epub with: mtxrun --script epub --make "test" [--purge --rename --svgmath]
Wolfgang
Instructions for creating the .epub from the export are contained in the log file.

Has anyone ever got an epub that validates?
last time i looked into it i found that there was no real consustency in checking (apart from device specific issues) so i gave up on that
anyway, an export is not per se an epub .. one might for instance add additional css
(in the meantime i actually gave away my ebook reader ... now i wait till color shows up in e-ink which might give me a reason to play a bit more)

yes, but i wonder how the spine will hold (samsung already found out the hard way) .. ok, if we see it as a spine we can live with a middle area that degrades over time i guess (but it will not last for decades, like books do)
(Unfortunately these gadgets are too expensive to experiment and play around with.)

Only with a lot of manual corrections.
I use the "raw" XML export, a bunch of XSL templates and a shell script, but still need to put stuff in place manually (i.e. everything that’s just visually formatted like the inner title and imprint).
I’m working on enhancing my workflow to at least succeed with epubcheck. I’ll probably need more than XSLT to e.g. check for image files (since I don’t use the file extension in ConTeXt, the XML processor can’t know if it’s a JPEG, PNG or PDF) etc. Maybe use Python instead of Shell + XSLT.
Our eBook distributor (BookWire) has even higher demands or checks better than the official epubcheck. (There are even example files in the consortiums’s GitHub that don’t validate.)

In the log comes: create epub with: mtxrun --script epub --make "kookboek" --purge --rename --svgmath This I did.

But, the resulting epub is bad. Compare the output as pdf with the output as epub and it is immediately clear that something is wrong in the production of the epub. See also the corresponding -raw.xml. Unless I am making a gross mistake.

You make things easier when you show your TeX file.
