I have the following setup for use of ConTeXt code in an xml-processing setup: % Usage: <tex> ... </tex> \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:tex \ignorespaces \xmlstripnolines{#1}{.} % need to strip sufficient space characters \xmlcontext{#1}{.} \stopxmlsetups Since I need some MetaPost drawings repeatedly I thought to include those from a separate file: <tex> \input thedirectory/thefile \useMPgraphic{lfsr}{stages=285} </tex> The file is read, but typeset as is, MetaPost processing does not occur. By the way, inserting the MetaPost code in place of the \input works ok. I also tried \usemodule[thedirectory/thefile] instead, but then nearly everything MetaPost encounters is undefined. Does someone know how to get the file inclusion right? Hans van der Meer
