Just between \starttext..\stoptext the code \directlua{tex.print("{\it abc}")} works as expected and I get an italic abc.

However, between \startxmlsetups..\stopxmlsetups this is different. Here the result is: {endgraf ignorespaces it abc} And leaving out one backslash before the it: {it abc}

I suspect some catcode trickery here. But can this be solved easily? Or do I need to program calling of some explicite Lua-function for this?

wont work, \ctxlua does but \startluacode indeed does catcode trickery Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
