Dear list, please find attached a small ConTeXt file using metapost and mp-format.mp. When compiled directly (with \write18 enabled), the minus sign of the first MPgraphic is rendered (by metapost) as unknown. The very same code in the second example works. When compiling with texexec --automp,

Hello, This is one of the sore points of ConTeXt and of the development effort. People at Pragma are willing to show off but not willing to share code and teach by example... contrary to most opensource projects I have seen. Oh come on, this is completely crap. The people at PRAGMA (i.e.

Giuseppe and ConTeXt list members - Having figured out how to use \grabuntil (see my previous messages to this list), I've realized that it's really an inconvenient solution in some cases, because it's searching for a literal bit of text rather than an end to the appropriate grouping level.
