Currently, I process a file like this:

mtxrun --autogenerate --script context test12.tex

and in the file test12.tex one sees something like this:

\input archimate-mp
\ctxlua{moduledata.archimate(=E2=80=9Cmyarchimatefile.xml")}

The latter parses the xml file and produces a PDF using generated MP =
code.

What I would like to do is not have to edit the .tex file when I want to =
process another .xml file but just pass the name of the xml file on the =
command line. And I would like to pass on a second filename with some =
local overrides settings fr my code. All of this needs to be data that I =
can use in my programming. E.g. something like:

mtxrun --autogenerate --script myscriptname =E2=80=9C =
myarchimatefile.xml=E2=80=9D =E2=80=9Cmyhelper.xml"

It is OK that this would produce a fixed name output file (e.g. =
myparsedxml.pdf), so it is OK to have some generic myparsedxml.tex =
(instead of test12.tex as per my example) file that produces a .pdf and =
more in the current working directory but resides somewhere in a generic =
place. But preferably, this would produce myarchimatefile.pdf

I=E2=80=99ve read the manual on mtxrun scripts to see if I can make my =
own, but I=E2=80=99m utterly failing to understand what is written in a =
way that let me write my own.
