Hi all,
what is the best method to format MetaPost labels in MkII with \doattributes.
\setupcolors[state=start]
\def\labelstyle{bold}
\def\labelcolor{red}
\starttext
\startMPcode
label(textext("\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}"),origin) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Wolfgang

I use different code for MkII and MkIV and could use the best for each file.

Sometxt does not work appear to work with \startMPdrawing (there is no output at all). I think that the reason is that MPdrawing simply writes stuff to the MPfile without doing the extra work needed for sometxt. I will call this is a bug, but I do not know if Hans wants to work on TeX-MP interaction in MKII now. > \setupcolors[state=start] > > \def\labelstyle{bold} > \def\labelcolor{red} > > \starttext > \resetMPdrawing > \startMPdrawing > label(textext("\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}"),origin) ; > label(\sometxt{\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}},origin) ; > \stopMPdrawing > \MPdrawingdonetrue > \getMPdrawing > \stoptext It may be possible to write your macros without \start-stop-MPdrawing. Everything inside \start-stop MP(code|graphic) is first parsed by TeX, so you can do things like \newif\ifcircle \circletrue \startMPcode draw \ifcircle fullcircle \else fullsquare \fi xyscaled (5cm,5cm) ; \stopMPcode So, instead of writing stuff to MP using start-stop MPdrawing, you can simply set some flags in conditionals and chardefs, and then write one MP(graphic|code) to write one MP file. This strategy will not work for all cases, but can be useful for some.

I droped now the MKII part of my module and rewrite parts of the code with Lua, sometimes and easier and I could use start/stopMPcode with calls to TeX for a few functions.
