This helps for adding information to my processing.

What I was also looking for is that I don’t have a test.tex anymore, just the 
XML file I am parsing and a command line action.

So, I use mtxrun, give it the name of an XML. lua code (using a ’script’ 
somewhere?) reads the XML, extracts a name (e.g. ‘foo’) from it, creates a .tex 
file (e.g. ‘foo.tex’), produces a .pdf file from that .tex file (e.g. 
‘foo.pdf').
When processing XML, I normally use

   context —environment=whatever.tex file.xml

with whatever.tex being a mix of tex and lua to setup and process the XML 
directly,
perhaps including other XML files as needed.
But this means that the whatever.tex file needs to exist beforehand and the 
result is whatever.pdf

I want the actual PDF to be produced have a name that comes from the XML I am 
processing and thus the whatever.tex file be created by lua. There is no 
whatever.tex file before I run the command.

Pre-command:
        XML:
                contains file name “foo”
        there is no .tex file

Command:
        produces foo.tex (gets the name from the XML) and “foo.pdf"

The TeX file in Tacos example contains the xmlsetup entries which are used
to map the XML tags to ConTeXt commands and environment, the resulting
PDF file has the same name as the XML file.
