so, if in mkiv you want pieces, you need to textext each snippet that you want as such
Alright... in that case how would I make sure that all glyph positions are kept if my TeX material is, say, some complex formula? How could I find the baseline with textext?
see mp.mplib for all those anchor points
OK. I found in mp-mplib.mp that rawtextext() does what I was looking for... the baseline is anchored to the current point: --- \setupbodyfont[10pt] \starttext \startMPinclusions pickup pencircle scaled 0.05pt; defaultpen := savepen; picture crosshair; crosshair := image(draw fullcircle scaled 2pt; draw (0,-2pt)--(0,2pt); draw (-2pt,0)--(2pt,0); ); bboxmargin := 0; \stopMPinclusions \startMPpage for item within rawtextext("$(h,g)$"): draw bbox item withcolor 0.8white; draw item; endfor; draw crosshair; \stopMPpage \stoptext --- This solves step one! Now onto step two: how can I typeset each glyph in the formula individually such that it appears precisely in the right location? Thanks, Oliver
