Subject: Ampersand in Metapost
Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 21:18:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100513211856.48e15be4@vorbis> (raw)
Hi,
I have a problem producing an ampersand in metapost. In ConTeXt it works as
expected. Have a look at the following example.
\starttext
\& % OK
\startMPcode
label(textext("\&"),origin); % produces error
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
The compile time error message is as follows:
! Misplaced alignment tab character &.
l.1 \MPLIBsettext{1}{&
Marco
