Hi,

if I process an XML buffer, I’ve noticed I need to wrap the \xmlprocessbuffer in a \starttext ... \stoptext pair.

[...]

However, if I have the XML and the setups in dedicated files, there seems to be no need for \starttext ... \stoptext.

[...]

Running

context text.xml –environment=setups.tex

gives me a proper PDF without errors.

Therefore my question:

Does the use –environment automatically wrap the processed file in \starttext ... stoptext ?

If not, what’s the reason for this behaviour? Am I missing something?


ConTeXt uses the file extension to decide who it should handle document,
in your case the extension is xml and the file is processed as

\starttext
\xmlprocess{main}{...}{}
\stoptext

The same thing happens when you have CLD document and use cld as file extension.

For more details you can look at the processjob function in cont-run.lmt.
