I think this may do the trick: \doiftext{\env{ml}} {\mainlanguage[\env{ml}]} \starttext Document main language: \startmodeset [**en] {English} [**es] {Spanish} [**de] {German} [**nl] {Dutch} [**ru] {Russian} \stopmodeset% . \stoptext Of course, "--arguments=ml=nl" would be the right option to pass the language from the command line. AfaIk, there is not "--language" option from the command line. (This also makes sense to me.) Just in case it might help, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
