Hi, I want to define a macro in MetaPost which does: def myfunc (expr x,y)(text t) = draw thelabel.rt (btex You passed \quotation{t} etex, (x,y)); where t in btex ... text is replaced by the argument. How to do so? Tobias

You can do that using TEX.mp. I remember that it is also possible to use textext to do something like this. I need to check my files to see if I have an example. Aditya

Here is a working solution. \starttext \forceMPTEXcheck{myfunc} \startMPinclusions def myfunc (expr x,y) (text t) = label.rt (textext("You passed \quotation{" & t & "}"), (x,y)) enddef; \stopMPinclusions \startMPpage myfunc (0,0) ("Hello") ; myfunc (2cm,1cm) ("World") ; \stopMPpage \stoptext Aditya
