Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx. As I'm currently going through the metafun todo files I ended up at the fancy shape part (parshapes) running over multiple paragraphs and decided to provide a (kind of low level) interface that integrates that. The example code is a few decades old but still works ok (i might try to improve them a bit some day). Anyway, here is a teaser: \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{circle} lmt_parshape [ path = fullcircle scaled 136mm, offset = 2mm, bottomskip = - 1.5LineHeight, ] ; \stopuseMPgraphic \start \startshapedparagraph[list=circle,mp=circle,repeat=yes,method=cycle]% \setupalign[verytolerant,stretch,last]\dontcomplain {\darkred \samplefile{tufte}}\par {\darkgreen \samplefile{tufte}}\par {\darkblue \samplefile{tufte}}\par {\darkcyan \samplefile{tufte}}\par {\darkmagenta \samplefile{tufte}}\par \stopshapedparagraph \stop \page \start \startshapedparagraph[list=circle,mp=circle,repeat=yes,method=repeat]% \setupalign[verytolerant,stretch,last]\dontcomplain {\darkred \samplefile{tufte}} {\darkgreen \samplefile{tufte}} {\darkblue \samplefile{tufte}} {\darkcyan \samplefile{tufte}} {\darkmagenta \samplefile{tufte}} \stopshapedparagraph \stop \stoptext The interface is still somewhat rough (no grouping for instance, not a real envrionment so that might change) but seems to work ok. One can also go the tex route and say: \startparagraphshape[test] left 1mm right 1mm left 2mm right 2mm left 3mm right 3mm copy 8 left 4mm right 4mm left 5mm right 5mm left 5mm hsize 10cm \stopparagraphshape or \startparagraphshape[test] left 1mm right 1mm right 3mm left 5mm right 5mm repeat \stopparagraphshape or \startparagraphshape[test] both 1mm both 2mm both 3mm both 4mm both 5mm both 6mm both 7mm both 6mm both 5mm both 4mm both 3mm both 2mm \stopparagraphshape or \startparagraphshape[test-repeat] both 1mm both 2mm both 3mm both 4mm both 5mm both 6mm both 7mm both 6mm both 5mm both 4mm both 3mm both 2mm repeat \stopparagraphshape and use that with: \startshapedparagraph[list=test] \dorecurse{8}{\showparagraphshape\samplefile{tufte} \par} \stopshapedparagraph or \startshapedparagraph[list=test-repeat] \dorecurse{8}{\showparagraphshape\samplefile{tufte} \par} \stopshapedparagraph Some more info is in the lowlevel-paragrsph document (part of the low level series). This kind of features falls into the category 'fancy' (no one reqtested it), nice for posters and covers. It might evolve depending on needs for fancy features, but as said, it's currently a side track of metafun, so it's also in the category 'fun'. It's code for 'controlled' usage.
