Dear Pablo, dear list

That's great, thank you very much for your suggestion.
That seems to me to be a very elegant solution to the next two problems 
that were actually still ahead of me.

And now to my initial question, which I didn't specify precisely enough.

I have the following workflow in mind:
1. I have an XML file (TEI-XML),
2. then, following your brilliant suggestion, I will create an 
xml-analyze-template.tex file and customise it.
3. As you suggest, now one would actually use
     context --environment xml-analyze-template.tex file.xml
     to typeset in a pdf file.
But I would like to convert all the XML nodes into the ConTeXt 
typesetting language, and then edit/correct the text and maybe some 
structure in this *.tex file.

And here comes my question: Can I use context to convert my XML-file 
'file.xml' into a ConTeXt-file 'file.tex' instead of typesetting it as a 
'file.pdf'.

Best regards, Christoph
