I see, and for the single case it works. Also saving is fine, I am using it. Unfortunately, my example was too reduced :-). In fact, I have a problem with more complex documents, for example, think about: <section> <caption>Some <inline what="something"> caption</caption> <text><p>Text.</p></text> </section> Now, if I want not to only typeset a caption, but also to store it and reuse it later (typeset it twice, e.g. in the marging or elsewhere in the page, ...), it fails (on \processaction, \doif, ...). So, if I understand, there is a way to modify my XML template to be safe during expanding -- I would use self unexpandable macros). Another way is problematic, as \edef inside \edef causes problems? Is it true or there is some other way? Thank you, Martin Dne 1.6.2010 0:10, Hans Hagen napsal(a):

I do not know, if it is a bug or a feature :-); but notwithstanding the fact, similar code I used in MkII worked very well.

effectively you as for:

\starttext \edef\content{\processaction[x][something=>A thing, nothing=>Hic sunt leones]} \stoptext

and that will not work; ok, we could make processaction unexpandable but i'm sure that you want something different

you can save the content this way:

\edef\content{#1}

and do this later on:

\xmlflush{\content}

I the case probably yes. Now I have new info how to continue with my MkII-->MkIV conversion, so I will do. I prefer to keep the XML schema and the style as clean and simple as possible, but this does not necessarily mean that the typesetting code itself will be clean and simple too :-), Thanks for now; I will ask you, if I do not succeed :-), Martin Dne 1.6.2010 9:51, Hans Hagen napsal(a):

can't you just filter the caption then? in principle you can access each element everywhere
