Hi,
I am trying to achieve the following:
\setMPtext{1}{ABC} \setMPtext{2}{DEF} \setMPtext{3}{GHI}
\starttext
\startMPpage[offset=1ex,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] for i=1 upto 3: draw textext(\MPstring{i}) shifted(i*cm,i*cm) ; endfor; \stopMPpage
\stoptext
There is no error but no content either. What's wrong?
Another way to do this is to use
\TeXtext{1}{ABC} etc.
and then call
draw sometxt(i)
For Sec 4.5 of Mojca's my way on sometxt http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/sometxt.pdf
Thank you for the tip, I tried it, but sometext seems deprecated in mkiv ("[do we need TeXtexts in MkIV]"). I've different buffers named 1–12 and would like to pipe them to Metapost. I thought I could use a textext(\getbuffer[i])-construct, it failed. So I tried it with \setMPtext{}{} … What is the approach to achieve this? Thank you in advance, Andreas
