Hallo, the following example is a cooked down version of something I found on the net. Compiling this %------------------------------------------------ \setupcolors[state=start] \forceMPTEXcheck{LABEL} \startMPinclusions vardef LABEL@\#(expr s, p)= label@\#(textext("% \framed[width=1.5cm]{" & s & "}"),p) enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startstaticMPfigure{tst} LABEL.llft("Test", (1,1) ) ; \stopstaticMPfigure \starttext \midaligned{\usestaticMPfigure[tst]} \stoptext %------------------------------------------------ I got the following error: %------------------------------------------------ ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \@MPG@@@. <to be read again> ( <argument> vardef LABEL@##( expr s, p)= label@##(textext("\framed [width=1.5c... \dodostartuseMPgraphic ...useMPgraphic {#1}{#2}{#3 }}\elabelgroup \dodostartMPpage ...aphic {@@}#1\stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic {@@}\dostopf... l.14 endfig; \stopMPpage %------------------------------------------------ What is wrong here?
