I would like to be able to do something like this
\def\foo#1{ \startMPcode fill (0,0)--(598,0)--(598,50)--(0,50)--cycle withcolor green; label.rt(btex #1 etex),(50,25); \stopMPcode }
and then use this in my ConTeXt document by
\foo{Some text}
However, my syntax seems to be incorrect, and I would appreciate any help in fixing it.
\framed [frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=green,width=598,height=50] {Some text} (Of course, you need to put correct dimensions for the width and height and also set an offset.) Untested, so the syntax may be not quite correct. You might want to use \setupframedtext and \startframedtext \stopframedtext if you will be doing this often. There is probably also a way to define a named framed text. Alan
