Hi, I have a problem with the postscript output of a MP graphic. The (attached) ps file contains a single blank line, which breaks the conversion by mptopdf. [..] [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.1 Runaway argument? ! Paragraph ended before \handleMPsequence was complete. <to be read again> \par l.19 ? The file is converted by mptopdf, if I remove that blank line. Here is a minimal example. \setupoutput[pdftex] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \startreusableMPgraphic{foo} draw unitsquare xyscaled(4cm,4cm) withpen pencircle scaled 1pt shifted(1cm,1cm) ; \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \null \useMPgraphic{foo} \stoptext I've tested it on context live, but the versions of pdftex and metapost are too old (but work without errors) for any comparison. Used versions: pdftex 1.40.1, metapost 0.933, context 18.01.2007 Any hints welcome. Peter

looks like a problem in the metapost beta (context depends on metapost not generating empty lines). Taco

Thanks for the info. I have "wasted" five hours on this, but I couldn't find the place, where the line is inserted.

Hi Taco. Any news about it?
Although it probably isn't the answer you were looking for: yes, there are news, the metapost & pdfTeX versions in the garden are updated ;) Mojca

Hi Taco. Any news about it?
Found it. There will be a new metapost beta somewhere in the coming week, with the fix added.
