After giving it some further thought, I tried the following (which seems more logical) but that doesn't work either... *** ctx-test.tex *** \starttext \doifmode{mode1a} {mode1a} \doifmode{mode2a} {\blank mode2a} \stoptext *** ctx-main.ctx *** <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> ctx:job ctx:preprocess/ ctx:flags ctx:process ctx:resources ctx:postprocess/ *** ctx-flags.ctx *** <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> ctx:flagtexengine=luatex ctx:flaginterface=en ctx:flagresult=ctx-modes *** ctx-modes1.ctx *** <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> ctx:modemode1a *** ctx-modes2.ctx *** <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> ctx:modemode2a *** end of code *** A Google search for the XML include element didn't bring much wisdom either.

Hi Hans,

it's more that i have no time now to look into it

Ok Hans. I understand. If there's any way you could have a look into it sometime (not too) later, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. -- Best, Alan * TeX engine = LuaTeX * ConTeXt minimals ver: 2008.10.31 13:58 MKIV fmt: 2008.10.31 int: english/english * Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

Has there been any progress regarding the issues/inquiries of this thread ? If none, what is/are the alternative(s) ? -- Best, Alan * TeX engine = LuaTeX *ConTeXt minimals ver: 2008.11.10 21:40 MKIV fmt: 2008.11.21 int: english/english * Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
