Hi Max,

many thanks for your reply.

At best, the patch is only a suggestion and Hans will merge the code he
sees it fits.

I noticed it too just after sending the message to the list, but I had
to solve the issue with my installation first.

It was a stupid mistake on my side. The patch I sent before points to
the error:

--- scite-context-lexer-xml.lua	2022-06-01 17:24:38.625976000 +0200
+++
context/tex/texmf-context/context/data/scite/context/lexers/scite-context-lexer-xml.lua
2022-06-02 16:37:30.112824947 +0200

I was compiling the sample file in the directory where the unmodified
version of "scite-context-lexer-xml.lua" was running.

ConTeXt was reading the unmodified file and not the modified one, but
that was all my fault.

Now I have to find a MWE for issues I’m experiencing with XML sources
and using the scite module.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
