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'.
