Hey hey, The following produces a filled square, rather than an empty one: \startbuffer[svg] \stopbuffer \starttext \placefigure{}{\includesvgbuffer[svg][conversion=mp]} \stoptext Remove the extra semicolon to get the expected result: It appears that a style immediately following two semicolons is ignored. The SVG was generated using the following R code: svg("filename.svg"); plot(rnorm(200)); dev.off() Arguably, R's SVG routines could be a bit tighter. Can the MP SVG parser code be relaxed to skip "empty" semicolons? $ context --version mtx-context | current version: 2022.05.02 16:19 Much appreciated.
