I'll look again to see how MP-Lua interface is developed.

[NTG-context] references.bookmarks.preroll and quotation
Hi, I have the following MWE: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \enabledirectives[references.bookmarks.preroll] \starttext \startchapter[title=B \quotation{C} D] \input ward \stopchapter \stoptext The generated bookmark has wrongly placed spaces: B“ C ” D Without the directive references.bookmarks.preroll, the bookmark is: B "C" D I need this directive because in titles I use macros that use \autoinsertnextspace. Is this a bug? Any feedback is welcome.

[NTG-context] \copypages and page numbering
Dear all, I’m assembling into a unique pdf the proceedings of a conference. They have been created by various sw (latex, word, writer etc). In order to include the papers, I’m just using a series of commands like \copypages[CIMXXI_contributi/dapelo][][scale=950] They are not provided with page numbers, and I’m including them in the usual way. Now, most of the time it just works. All the papers should conform to a template, but in some cases, page numbers are not displayed, and this depends on the fact that the page setup in that paper has a greater height (or maybe a different crop area), so that it covers the page number. I would simply solve the problem by having the page number on top of the imported pdf. Is it possible?

Re: [NTG-context] Asymptote or Metapost and ConTeXt parameters.
Thanx Aditya very much for your Metapost example. This I certainly sufficient for the production of simple images for my ideas. I attach source code, which outlines how I imagined inserting Asymptote images into Context. In the lower part of commented code is fully functional, compiled ConTEXt of TeX Live 2016 (included in the package is also Asymptote). My idea is that Asymptote code is part of my ConTeXt macro and parameters of macro are passed into Asymptote. My example does not work because Asymptote is probably not enough linked with Context. I am very grateful that You would to deal with my problem. I am not sure whether it will do Asymptote example as in the case Metapost. That's why I use filter in my own example (taken from https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2015/080581.html ). Thank you once again.

For simpler > pictures it would probably suffice The ability to pass parameters to metapost has been around since the beginning. See the metafun manual for details (search for MPvar). For simple images, you can also do: \define[1]\Circle{\startMPcode draw fullcircle scaled #1*cm; \stopMPcode} \Circle{1} \Circle{2} \Circle{3} > Is there a way to pass the ConTeXt parameter which influenced the > creation of the Asymptote image?

In principle, something similar to \MPvar can work for asymptote as well (or one could do parse the content in Lua rather than expand variables in TeX). > Before starting work on an illustrative example I am asking, whether it > makes sense to deal with such a thing ... I suppose the impossibility of > combining asymptote code and such Lua code (or not?). ConTeXt and Metapost are very well integrated, even in MkII. The same ideas could work with other graphic backends as well (Asymptote, tikz, and others). But it does require a good knowledge of the graphics package. I am willing to write the code at the context end, if someone who knows asymptote can tell me what needs to be done at the asymptote end.
