Thank you for your reply,
1. I have completely missed that I have to run 'context' after
texexec. I actually have read only about running texexec.
Moreover the "contex online" ( http://live.contextgarden.net/ ) site
most likely doesn't do that either since they produce empty PDFs if
you paste those lines in the form.

2. I have TeXLive installed and when I run 'context', I get a
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
sortof error and exit code 1.
Any suggestions on what can be wrong?
Regards,
Matej
