Hi Hans
I am placing metapost figures in the text:
\placefigure{}{\startMPgraphic
......
label.top(textext("\tfx \#3"),z0)
\stopMPgraphic\loadcurrentMPgraphic{}\placeMPgraphic}
The \# macro disappears and nothing shows up in my figure.
The same with other characters as \lbrace\rbrace.
How come? Do I misunderstand something?
It would be a pity if some characters could not be typeset in figures.
Thanks for looking into it.
Hans van der Meer

Well, I am not Hans, but perhaps I might add a comment:

could you provide a small non-working example (that we can run thru
TeX)?
The following works fine here:
% interface=en output=pdf
\starttext
\def\mycommand#1{%
\startuseMPgraphic{somegraphic}
drawdot origin;
label.top(textext("#1", origin);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{somegraphic}}
\mycommand{Hello Hans}
\stoptext
