I’m trying in METAPOST to build a command to pass on to ConTeXt using
btex/etex.
picture p; p := scantokens( "btex " & texcommands & " etex”);
btex/etex is better replaced by textext().
Nevertheless, this does not change anything. Context intercepts and
replaces textext() (and btex/etex) during processing. It does not return
a picture but a text bounding box that gets substituted upon shipping out.
You *can* save your text to a string, to be passed to textext() in your
MP macros.
