Hi, if I use \startMPcode to declare variables etc. that I need in
several MP graphics, it always inserts an empty page. How can I avoid that?
(Actually, I load an external mp file, and for random value reasons I
must load it only once. But the MWE already shows the problem.)
"""
\startMPcode
numeric something;
something := 1;
\stopMPcode
\starttext
\chapter{Something}
Anything.
\stoptext

Exactly, the latter.
Thank you, these two environments were missing in my book.
