To get a double quote in a MetaPost string like this
"embedded " double quote"
^
|___ oeps
use the ditto variable which expands to a string containing the double
quote character like so
"embedded " & ditto & " double quote"

[NTG-context] Puzzle (for me)
I have a string with double quotes that needs to become a text in a box in
METAPOST. METAPOST is used to create an image consisting of boxes and
connections.
Basically, the approach is now something like this:
TeX: calls Lua code with \ctxlua{filename}
Lua: context.startMPpage
Lua: read XML. String in XML in filename read by Lua
Here we know the dimensions in which the string must be typeset and wrapped
around because that is also in the XML
Lua: A context() call contains METAPOST code that calls a METAPOST vardef
(‘draw box’) with the string as argument
METAPOST: Draws box and call TeX to typeset string using textext(), returns
picture object
TeX: Typeset string
In short:
TeX, calls
Lua, reads XML and executes context( MP code) that gets executed on
stopMPpage
MP code calls TeX which typesets the string
But, if the string contains double quotes (”) this will fail in METAPOST
because the double quotes in the string will be printed in METAPOST code that
is created by Lua and thus mess up METAPOST.
So, what can I do?

Re: [NTG-context] macOS
If I understand the policy of Apple correctly, then it is that \usr is not meant to be a directory to be used by the user and therefore spotlight by default will not index anything in that directory. When opening Finder then the mentioned folder is not even shown i.e. it is hidden and spotlight will accordingly not index such directories.

cld manual
- Is this string+arguments interpreter of context() available
separately? I could use this to first let the string interpreter create
a TeX-safe string after which I can manipulate the result before
offering it to the context() command.

Re: [NTG-context] Primes far too high in Lucida Type1
Hi Wolfgang,
That 's a pity indeed. I played around a bit and found a dirty hack
using catcodes. Maybe not the best solution, but it works for me.
Posting it here for future reference.
```
\define\textprime{'}
\makecharacteractive '
\define'{\lowerbox{0.3ex}\hbox{\math{\textprime}}}
```
Cheers,
Tim

Re: [NTG-context] macOS
I already had done all of that including command line versions like ‘sudo mdutil -E’ It turns out macOS apparently excludes /usr (amongst other things) and I haven’t found a way to configure that. So, when ConTeXt is installed in /usr/local (which is pretty typical), SpotLight doesn’t find the manuals, whereas when it has been installed in — say — /Applications, it will find them.
