It was not meant as a sollution to anything, I was just testing.

I meant that it is perhaps not practical to type @mmbase, '$my_text' because you may easily forget to use this '@mmbase'. You may see a problem only when accidentily non-ascii chars (like \'e), appear in @my_text, so actually you will have to use this @-feature, _always_. So, I was suggesting to create an intermediate file always, also when not explicitely requested (why would somebody wants to know that?). The only exception being, perhaps, if the given text starts with @ already, and someone is actually trying to use this feature of imagemagick.
