Hi all, what is the better way to apply a metapost effect to a piece of any structure text for example when defining footnotes, frames , etc. i use this method for frames: this is my MWE: \defineframed[Myframe][frame=off] \starttexdefinition spaces protected Mystyle #1 \startMPcode picture tt ; tt:= lmt_outline [ kind = "path", text = "\Myframe{#1}", ]; fill for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection up withshadecolors (red,blue); \stopMPcode \stoptexdefinition \starttext \Mystyle{hello} \stoptext but what is the proper way if i want to use this style as simple as \tfb in definition of this structures? such as: \defineframed[Myframe][frame=off,style=\tfb\Mystyle,] Thanks in advance.
