[OT] Can XYpic be used under Context ? I will try .
At least for me this works: \input xy \xyoption{frame} \starttext \framed[offset=10pt]{% \xy (0,0) *++=\hbox{text} *\frm{--} ; (50,0) *++=\hbox{text} *\frm{..} ; (100,0) *++=\hbox{text} *\frm{=} ; \endxy} \stoptext It can be a way to add some frame style without using metapost.
I don't know XYpic, but it looks interesting. Would you write a wiki page about it?
Dear Henning, before I started to use context I had prepared some diagrams in xypic. It was the only way I knew for creating vector graphics for both tex and pdftex with text and graphics interaction possibility. For that experience I strongly discourage for using it with context: 1) Xypic has the most obscure syntax I have ever seen. 2) Nobody knows if there are not some name-space problems (redefinitions). 3) Metapost is naturaly incorporated to context, strongly supported, higher possibilities and (my opinion) much more intuitive. So I think that such a contextgarden xypic page would be only confusing. vit P.S. If you are still interesting google for xypic manual.
