[Therion] metapost color definition

[Bruce]

Fixed, thanks, ! does the trick.

Makes me wonder if the need for endcode should be forced, or if all metapost
lines should voluntarily start with !

Reason is that peoples' custom metapost will always be vulnerable to
additional keywords in future therion versions.  I guess everything becomes
obsolete eventually.

It is a very rare case, where layout options are mixing with metapost
code. Both have color keyword. It is because endcode is not needed in
layout.

Could you please try to add ! as a first character on the line 237.
Therion will then know, that it is a line with the code. Or also a ;
could do the job.

[Therion] metapost color definition

[Bruce]

Anyone have any idea why the following metapost included in a layout causes
the error below?

It is almost identical to code extracted from data.mp, yet it upsets therion
(I have added the 237 so you can see where the error occurs).



   code metapost  

%define colours for custom water point & area
background

237   color colour_water; 

colour_water :=(226/255,244/255,253/255); %light
blue

color colour_sump;

colour_sump := (22/255,22/255,95/255);%dark blue

   endcode



D:\Program Files\Therion\therion.exe: error --
../../StdFiles/LayoutStandards.thc [237] --
../../StdFiles/LayoutStandards.thc [237] -- not enough option arguments --
color -- must be 2
