Hi Christoph,

not clear to me whether you meant an environment (a format file) with
the ConTeXt generated file.

In that case, this might help:

  context --extra=xml --analyze --template your-file.xml

With that template, you may run:

  context --environment=xml-analyze-template.tex your-file.xml

BTW, there are two typos in xml-analyze-template.tex (lines 8-9):

  - \startxmlsetup should read \startxmlsetups.
  - \xmlsetsetups should read \xmlsetsetup.

But consider that this only flushes text with no formatting (you will
have all text in a single paragraph.

If this is not what you need, a more detailed (or simply more verbose)
explanation) might help.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo
