[NTG-context] metapost: unable to make mpx file error
\startOT Wow! experimental metapost version two (does this mean that we get to play with precision?) \stopOT \startQUESTION The following minimal example yields an error: \starttext \startMPcode input circle ; \stopMPcode \stoptext where circle.mp contains a btex...etex sequence: draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ; label (btex 1 cm etex , (0,0)) ; The input circle ; will work if I comment-out or remove label ; The minimal example will work, of course, if the mp code is in my tex file.

Unable to make mpx file. hm, looks like I have to intercept the inputs in order to turn the btex ... into textexts (which happens with the main file) what I actually need for this is a reader hook (just like we have a finder hook); I could use the finder hook to make a temporary file, but I wonder if that makes sense so let's first check if we can get a reader hook (remind me in a few weeks anyway and use textext instead of btex/etex for the moment) Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
