However the plain TeX format from the standalone does not produce anything with the following minimal example:
%%% begin test-plaintex.tex
This is intended to test Plain \TeX\ from the ConTeXt stand-alone.
An elementary identity: $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$.
And a well-known identity due to Leonhard Euler  in which the five most important numbers appear:
$$
{\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0, \qquad \hbox{where }\; {\rm i} := \sqrt{-1}.
$$
\bye
%%% end test-plaintex.tex
Saying in the Terminal:
  mtxrun --script plain basic-plaintex.tex
results in
  mtx-plain | running command 'luatex --fmt=luatex-plain "basic-plaintex.tex »’
  This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972)
  \write18 enabled.
basic-plaintex or test-plaintex?
