Hi,

I try to compile the code below. "All" I get is an error:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)

l.2  <title name="small">
                         Ein kleines xml-Dokument</title>
? 

without the mainlanguage[de] there is no problem. I know, that 
this happened to Johannes before, but that time he was not using 
pdfetex (in extended mode) I guess and he was using metapost. 

Any Idea how to solve this?

------------------------------ the file:
% output=pdf

\mainlanguage[de]
\starttext
\defineXMLenvironment [document] \startnarrower \stopnarrower
\defineXMLargument [title] \midaligned
\defineXMLenvironment [list] \startitemize \stopitemize
\defineXMLcommand [item] \item
\defineXMLgrouped [b] \bf
\defineXMLentity [context] \ConTeXt
\defineXMLentity [dots] \dots

\setuptyping[file][option=xml]

\startbuffer
<document> 
 <title name="small">Ein kleines xml-Dokument</title> 
  <list packed="yes"> 
    <item>sinnloser Text, der sehr  <b>wichtig</b> ist.
          </item> 
    <item>&context; kann aber noch viel kompliziertere
          Dinge tun &dots;</item>
   </list> 
</document>
\stopbuffer
\processXMLbuffer
\stoptext
