Hi Hans and Vit,

I've attached pdf and tex made with "texexec 8bit.tex" using the last beta (with cp1250 regime). The version chapterB is what I am using now, chapterA version is straightforward but not functional.

>From this my ideas from last mail came -- when I am expanding \XMLflush exactly and controlled, result is OK (the expansion stops before active characters start to expand.

IMHO, the solution on character level is something different (although it works :-); yes, I did not study Vit's problems from year before. I never had a problems with simple TeX (\chapter{čřžý}), only with XML :-), so for me it would be sufficient solve XML level. Of course, if it is stuff of other level, it cannot be solved in XML.

Thanks, Martin

the {} may break liguature building (and maybe kerning) ... taco knows ...

I got a brainwave ... 

\enableregime[latin2]

\starttext

\def\numcharacter#1{\rawcharacter{#1}}%
\let\dochar\numcharacter

\writetolist[chapter]{1}{Dobré ráno}

\expanded{\writetolist[chapter]{2}{Dobré odpoledne}}

\placelist[chapter][criterium=text]

test

\typefile{test.tuo}

\stoptext

this can be sped up (a bit) with 

% \dostepwiserecurse{0}{255}{1}
%   {\setevalue{rchr:\recurselevel}{\rawcharacter\recurselevel}}

% \def\rawcharacter#1{\getvalue{rchr:#1}}

this means that all chars are round tripped to themselves in output files! 

raw characters are not active and they are therefore equivalent to \char  

it's enough then to put 

\def\numcharacter#1{\rawcharacter{#1}}%
\let\dochar\numcharacter

into cont-new.tex 

(i will discuss this in more detail with taco later)
