Thanks.

I have now used a wrapper to skip that line in LuaTeX (btw: what's the suggested \if clause or \beginNOLUATEX to check for luatex/mkiv?) Does it make sense to define \let\forceMPTEXcheck\empty in mkiv perhaps?

best make a

yourmodule.tex yourmodule.mkii yourmodule.mkiv

and in the tex file adds:

\loadmarkfile{yourmodule}

OK, once I rewrite some more code than a few lines, I will split it (but now there are really only minor, one-line patches).

3.) undefined command \obeyMPlines. I actually forgot why I needed it, but according to the comment: \obeyMPlines % <- no longer a problem \def\obeyedline{}% <- thanks to this I simply commented out the first line and hoped for no problems in mkii

ok, another fake

Thanks. Still - I don't know if it's still needed at all and what exactly it was used for (maybe metapost has complained about too long lines long time ago).

4.) It seems to work without problems now, except for one tiny detail that I get in the final PDF. [do we need TeXtexts in MkIV]

What is that supposed to mean?

well, that everything now can be 'textext'

I need to admit that I have the following piece of code in the module (in case that matters). Maybe I'm the only one who uses it, so if you have any idea how to modify the macros to make \sometxt[gp][iwona,14pt]{text} work in mkiv, I will happily drop the old code/replace it for mkiv.

hm, so \sometxt is not working? i thought that i tested it (maybe not ... too much to test)

\sometxt is working, only some Aditya's extensions complain. I will test a bit, try to rewrite some bits and pieces, collect the missing parts and report back.

...

\long\def\redofiltersometxt[#1]% {\doifnextcharelse[{\reredofiltersometxt[#1]}{\redodofiltersometxt[#1]}}

\long\def\redodofiltersometxt[#1]#2% {\increment\txtcounter \TeXtext[#1]\txtcounter{#2}% \filtersometxt}

\long\def\reredofiltersometxt[#1][#2]#3% {\increment\txtcounter \TeXtext[#1]\txtcounter{\switchtobodyfont[#2]\strut#3}% \filtersometxt}

i think that we have it in the core

You have added the ability to use \sometxt[something]{abc} with a background definition of: \definetextext[something]{\strut} but I wanted to have two square brackets and Aditya has written a small patch which does that. Let me explore a bit more in the new mkiv sources and report back.

anyhow, just collects what does not work

(btw, i fixed something in textext ... i used to work only for code passed as mpgraphic, but now it works also with libraries and so)

Thanks :) I didn't notice any weird behaviour so far, but I'm glad that it's away before I started complaining about it :) :P Mojca
