4 - about ConTeXt and Metapost: What should I put in the "verbatimtex ... etex" header to be able to use ConTexT in btex..etex instead of LaTex? (I don't want use (for now ) the "inside ConTeXt document" method for the sake of environnement robustness, and for reusability)
normally nothing has to go in there you can make stand alond graphics with context doing: \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startMPpage your mp code \stopMPpage \stoptext That gives you a stand alone pdf graphic that you can embed later
5 - about metapost: How can I build the string to give to TeX as in
string str; str = "x^2" btex \large F = <str> etex
or perhaps somthing like :
string str; str = "btex \large F = " & str é " etex" eval(str)
no, btex etex is parsed and handles in special ways; this is why metafun has the textext macro Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
