Context in its present form cannot handle Pstricks because Pstricks generate Postscript code that is a bit scary when inserted in a pdf file. (I have heard of Postscript embedded in PDF but I would not want to count on it.) However Metapost code is handled by an on-the-fly call to the mpost program. I wonder if the same principle could be used for incorporating Pstricks figures and special effects into Context?
Pstricks is more directly concerned with e.g. graphs, tree diagrams, etc. and has many useful commands. Before being lured by pdftex and Context it was a standard part of my vocabulary. John Culleton
