\starttext does not take an `option=XML` argument.

Again, a MWE help to understand what is going wrong.


\definetextbackground[code][background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray,
frame=off, location=paragraph]

\setuptyping[before={\startbackground[code]}, after={\stopbackground}]

\definetyping[XMLtyping]
             [
               option=XML,
               before={\startbackground[code]},
               after={\stopbackground},
             ]

\starttext
\startXMLtyping
This is some code
a second line
\stopXMLtyping
\stoptext
