  4. @frischefarbe zeigt im nächsten Mini-Vortrag eine andere Spielerei. Ihr findet sie unter hobby.boxesandglue.dev/ und macht Werbung für #Metapost, was tatsächlich an vielen Stellen etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient hätte.

    Im #TeXConTeXt Umfeld wird es deutlich mehr genutzt, aber bei #TeXLaTeX haben gerade #TikZ & Co mehr Nutzung.

    “The story at the end tells a bit about #LMTX and how it was done (it's about 2500 lines of Lua to parse the XML and produce the LMTX statements, and about 3500 lines of #MetaPost/Metafun to produce the graphics).”

  7. Gavin about for :

    I am working with in . Here are the resources I use, roughly in the order I search when trying to solve a problem.

    Manual (pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/) This is most comprehensive and helpful source.
    ➤ MetaPost Manual (mirrors.ctan.org/systems/doc/m) This is not specific to ConTeXt, but it is very useful.
    ➤ The MetaFun page on the ConTeXt wiki (wiki.contextgarden.net/Graphic)
