Re: [NTG-context] First example in xml-mkiv.pdf
Aah yes, how silly of me to forget to add \starttext... \stoptext!
Thanks for your help.

Dear List,
In my continuing effort to improve my ConTeXt skills I thought I

looking at the very first example on page 5 of "Dealing with XML in

the first line of the XML file which I corrected:

However when I ran the file using the tex file it only produced a 3

Here is the XML file which is the similar to the one on page 5 but

Some title
a paragraph of text
another paragraph of text

another paragraph of text
The TeX file is cut and pasted from pages 5 and 6 of xml-mkiv.pdf:
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:base
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{document|section|p|itemize|item}{xml:demo:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{xml:demo:base}
\startxmlsetups xml:demo:document

\placelist[chapter]

\startxmlsetups xml:demo:p
\xmlflush{#1}\endgraf
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlprocessfile{demo}{demo.xml}{}
This seemed such a simple example and I'm a bit perplexed as to why
it did not work. Can somebody explain why no paragraphs are showing
up? I'm using:
