seams this code means to put a hidden text with same size behind metapost
shape.
but it does not work properly for me (current version: 2024.04.01 08:59)
and produce empty page but with searchable hidden text.
also when i edit the code and replace metapost part like this:
\startMPcode
draw lmt_outline [
kind = "outline",
text = "\getbuffer[MyText]",
]
withcolor red
;
\stopMPcode
it produces a selectable hidden text on top of body and red text that drawn
by metapost below of that.
How can this problem be solved?
i attached the codes and pdf results.

thank you Harban and Keith McKay.
\startMPpage picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [ kind = "path", text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o", ] ;
fill for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection down withshadecolors (red, blue) ; \stopMPpage
I'll add this:
\startMPpage draw lmt_outline [ kind = "outline", text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o", ] withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection down withshadecolors (red, blue) ; \stopMPpage
so a single path option (no picture)

Thank you so much for the sample examples it would be great to also make text select able in output pdf the third example currently does not work. did you mean you will add this feature for next updates? we're talking outlines so that is paths which implies no search but you can do this (Keith and/or Hraban will explain and/or wikify it)
\starttext
\startbuffer[MyText] \definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o% \stopbuffer
\startbuffer[MyText] \framed[align=normal,frame=off]{\input{tufte}}% \stopbuffer
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox\bgroup \startMPcode draw lmt_outline [ kind = "outline", text = "\getbuffer[MyText]", ] withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection down withshadecolors (red, blue) ; \stopMPcode \egroup
\startoverlay
{\scale[height=\htdp\scratchbox,width=\wd\scratchbox]{\effect[hidden]{\getbuffer[MyText]}}} {\box\scratchbox} \stopoverlay
\stoptext
