labelling in embedded MP

labelling in embedded MP

[Johannes Huesing]

Hi,

the \languagespecifics of German seem to interfere with the embedded
Metapost code. The " in the code below is understood if
\mainlanguage[de] is not activated. How does one get around that?

Ah, you're being punished for not using pdf e tex. You can add the line: 

  \appendtoks \let\handlecompoundcharacter\string \to \everyMPgraphic

[i will add it to meta-ini.tex so next releases will be ok]

When I start texexec ... I get the message:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-13h-pretest-20010126-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1) (format=cont-en 2001.3.31)  8 MAY 2001 17:34
