Hi all, must be the heat here in Germany - I'm all out of ideas, and I have no example yet. Maybe someone can help: is it possible to define an xml setup that will run arbitrary tex code? Something like this (obviously pseudo-code): in a TeX file MyInputs.tex which will be loaded at runtime, I have: \startTEXbuffer[mybuffer] \color[red]{Hello World!} \stopTEXbuffer in the xml, I have <gettexbuffer>mybuffer</gettexbuffer> and in the setups \input MyInputs \startxmlsetups xml:gettexbuffer \getTEXbuffer[\xmlflush{#1}] \stopxmlsetups I tried with simple \startbuffer[mybuffer] ... \getbuffer[mybuffer], but the result is that the TeX code is typeset verbatim, not processed (problem of catcodes?). Any takers before I pull myself together and try to come up with an example? Thanks! Thomas

You're right, of course, for educational purposes... As for my students: they use the weirdest excuses anyway...
\startbuffer[example] <something> <sometex>weird</sometex> </something> \stopbuffer
\startbuffer[weird] \color[red]{Looks red to me!} \stopbuffer
\startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups}
\startxmlsetups xml:something \blank \relax [start something] \blank \xmlflush{#1} \blank \relax [stop something] \blank \stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:sometex \pushcatcodetable \catcodetable\ctxcatcodes \getbuffer[\xmlflush{#1}] \popcatcodetable \stopxmlsetups
\starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{example}{} \stoptext
I'll replace \processTEXbuffer by:
\unexpanded\def\processTEXbuffer {\dosingleempty\doprocessTEXbuffer}
\def\doprocessTEXbuffer[#1]% {\pushcatcodetable \catcodetable\ctxcatcodes \getbuffer[#1]% \popcatcodetable}
so that you can say:
\startxmlsetups xml:sometex \processTEXbuffer[\xmlflush{#1}] \stopxmlsetups
Excellent, it must be less hot in Hasselt then... Thanks for the example, and for the solution! So \processTEXbuffer will end up in the core? All best Thomas
