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 Aditya
