[NTG-context] Some math symbols fail in MetaPost in MKIV
Hi,
as it seems, some symbols in math mode seem to fail when put inside
MetaPost. In the example I tried, both ~ and | were causing processing
errors when used inside MetaPost (I tried both btex...etex as well as
\sometxt). It works fine in MKII however.
The minimal example is attached to this mail.
Best Regards,
Andreas.\starttext
The \quote{formula} as it should look like: $a~b|c$.
Metapost:
\startMPcode
label(\sometxt{$a~b|c$}, (0, 0));
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

The minimal example is attached to this mail. I don't know how to prevent expansion of ~ and | inside mp. Hans, can you please check what is the right way to correct this. However, note that ~ does not make sense in math mode anyways. As a work-around, you can use $a\ b\vert c$ inside metapost.
