[NTG-context] Ampersand in Metapost

13 May 2010

      Hi,

I have a problem producing an ampersand in metapost. In ConTeXt it works as
expected. Have a look at the following example.

\starttext
\& % OK
\startMPcode
label(textext("\&"),origin); % produces error
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

The compile time error message is as follows:
  ! Misplaced alignment tab character &.
  l.1 \MPLIBsettext{1}{&
