Hi,
I want to use a frame with metapost background to highlight some text
inside metapost. But, the best that I can do is get metapost
to typeset the code for the background, rather than execute it! Any ideas
on a work around (in MkIV).
\startmode[error]
\defineoverlay[MP:background]
[\useMPgraphic{MP:backgound}]
\startuseMPgraphic{MP:backgound}
draw OverlayBox randomized 9pt withcolor blue;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\stopmode
\defineframed[boxframed][frame=on,background=MP:background]
% A frame defined with \defineframe does not work
% inside Metapost, so I prevent expansion.
\unexpanded\def\boxed#1{\boxframed{#1}}
\starttext
\boxed{Boxed in text}
\startMPcode
draw textext("\boxed{boxed in metapost}") ;
%draw textext("\boxframed{boxed in metapost}") ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Thanks,
Aditya
