Hello all,
I'd like to insert a little MetaPost square into the running text and
properly align it vertically. So I tried:
---
\startuseMPgraphic{square}
draw unitsquare scaled StrutHeight;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
I want a square \raisebox{-\strutdepth}{\useMPgraphic{square}} in my
running text.
\stoptext
---
Unfortunately, to no avail. TeX seems to be asking for some boxed
content, so I tried to wrap the figure inclusion into a box:
\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}. It doesn't solve the problem either.
What do I need to change?
Oliver

I want a square \raisebox{-.5\strutdp}\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}} in my
running text.

Thanks!
I was close: if I had only left out the outer braces in
{\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}} ...

Thanks!
So is this the preferred command for all (horizontal) boxing related
tasks in ConTeXt (over hbox)?
