Hi,

Where `filename.xml` (the name matches the basename of the zip file) is
the main xml file and the `file_hash1.png` etc are png files that are
referred to inside the xml file.
If I unzip the file and add
\setupexternalfigures[directory={path-to-unzipped-folder]
then, I have an \startxmlsetups .. \stopxmlsetups environment that
correctly typesets the xml file. I believe that I have seen Hans post

You can directly typeset ePub files which is just zipped XML. There is
a script in mtxrun for it:
context --ctx=x-epub.ctx yourfile.epub

Thanks. But I could not find `x-epub.ctx` file in the standalone
distribution.

You can directly typeset ePub files which is just zipped XML. There is

[NTG-context] Processing XML file inside a zip file
Hi,
Is it possible to process an XML file inside a zip file without unzipping?
In particular, I have a program that generates zip files which look like
this:
The file `filename.zip` contains:
- filename.xml
- file_hash1.png
- file_hash2.png
etc.
Where `filename.xml` (the name matches the basename of the zip file) is
the main xml file and the `file_hash1.png` etc are png files that are
referred to inside the xml file.
If I unzip the file and add
\setupexternalfigures[directory={path-to-unzipped-folder]
then, I have an \startxmlsetups .. \stopxmlsetups environment that
correctly typesets the xml file. I believe that I have seen Hans post
snippets of code that suggest that context can directly read from a zip
file. So, I am wondering if there is a way that I can just call
context --magic-flags filename.zip
and obtain the correct output.
Thanks,
Aditya
