But how can I accomplish the placement of these and more elaborate formulae in metapost pictures using ConTeXt? It is of the essence for a series of Powerpoint slides I am preparing, wheein these formulae must be placed as individual pictures. you can patch pmatrix: \unexpanded\def\pmatrix#1% {\left(\matrix{#1}\right)} (i'll make the lot unexpandable) btw, for large chunks you can consider using setups \startsetups lots-of-math \stopsetups ... \textext("\setup[lots-of-math]") ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
