Hello,
I have a really strange problem.
After changing a label in ghostscript (mpost terminal), I fail to mpost
the output since the TeX file looks like
\switchtobodyfont[7.5pt]
%
[...]
\shipout\hbox{\smash{\hbox{\hbox{% line 402 gnuplot0001.mp
xtls ($1+2885.878040):($3/1.6637149187); $\Gamma_{\rm L}=1.5$,
$\Gamma_{\rm G}=0
.2$}\vrule width1sp}}}
\end{document}
Of cause it fails at the "\end{document}", but why is it there at all?
In the metapost file are only the normal put_text(btex ... etx)
statements (plus my verbertim "\switchtobodyfont[7.5pt]").
Any ideas?
Tobias
PS: Thanks Patrick for a5 vs. A5 help.

If one looks carefully, one sees that a $ is missing. (I didn't looked
carefully, but added a verbatimtex \bye etex TeX gave the right hint.)
After inserting the $, it worked without a problem. But I'm still
puzzled that there was a \end{document}, where did it come from?

I put in my ordinary mp files:-
---------------
input metafun ;
verbatimtex
..any required preliminary ConTeXt statements \setupbodyfont etc.
\starttext
etex
.. normal metapost
verbatimtex
\stoptext
etex
end
---------------
The assembly script needs a line like
export TEX=texexec
in it
Then the remnants of latex are removed and the btex .. etex bits are
typeset using ConTeXt.
I hope this helps
