Actually, the backslashes disappear before the call to textext()

MkII had a feature called \sometxt
http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/sometxt.pdf

I wonder if that still works in MkIV.

Re: [NTG-context] Lua and metapost

Hi,

Please discard previous mail as I did not know about MPlib.

 Hi all,

 Since ConTeXt has LuaTeX and it contains Lua interpreter so I wonder if it
 is possible to write Lua code which can generate Metapost code for graphics.
 MetaLua can also help here. However, I do not know
 how to develop a Lua library which can be integrated with ConTeXt but then
 again I have not looked in this matter.

 As you people may be knowing Prof. John Hobby has written a Haskell
 frontend for Metapost which generates Metapost code.

 Having a Lua version of same will help a lot. My only concern is using
 MetaLua with ConTeXt.
