Hello Hans, before I forget: yes, plese remove the semicolon in \def\sometxt in meta-tex.tex if you didn't already. (Unless you see some special reason why it should be left there.) And then: while trying to convince David to drop the usage of "btex ... etex" I tried (something like) this: \startMPinclusions def something = draw textext("abc"); % guess what! draw (btex def etex) shifted (0,5mm); enddef; \stopMPinclusions \starttext \startMPcode something; \stopMPcode \stoptext But it's probably up to you to convince him about that now - I ran out of ideas. I thought that nothing could go wrong any more ;) Mojca

Hi Mojca, You need a \forceMPTEXcheck{something} and everything works fine, that is, I get something like def abc on a page. Can you describe the error that you get. Aditya

Hi Mojca,

def abc
on a page. Can you describe the error that you get.
My apologies! It seems it was too late already. I was so stupid that I was trying to play with \forceMPTEXcheck{textext}. No wonder why it didn't work! Please forget about this post! Mojca
