There is another problem when ConTeXt text has to be rendered from inside MetaPost graphics. Consider the following code: \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{mptest} label (btex test etex, origin); \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{mptest} \stoptext Even with the patch for texexec.pl ($cmd =~ s/([^\\])\&/$1\\\&/io ;), it fails. The problem occurs during the call to: pdfetex -progname=context \&cont-en from within texexec.pl. But surprisingly, it compiles successfully with the '\&' fix in texexec.ini. I guess that pdfetex has to call ConTeXt somehow in order to produce the `btex/etex' output, but that instance of ConTeXt doesn't do the shell escaping correctly. Any clue? What script should I look into? Regards, David
