(examples 267 and 268 on this page [1]) I was hoping to do this in MetaPost. Earlier this year this question went un-answered on this list: "How to use boxit MetaPost macros with ConTeXt minimals?" So, is there a solution or do I have to use label.rt(btex \framed[width=3cm,align=middle]{Text} etex, (1u,1.5u)); Which really feels uncomfortable in this case.
