-<h3>What is MetaPost?</h3>
-<p/>The MetaPost system (by John Hobby) implements a picture-drawing language
-very much like that of Metafont except that it outputs Encapsulated PostScript
-files instead of run-length-encoded bitmaps. MetaPost is a powerful
-language for producing figures for documents to be printed on PostScript
-printers, either directly or embedded in (La)TeX documents. It
-includes facilities for directly integrating TeX text and
-mathematics with the graphics. (Knuth tells us that he uses nothing
-but MetaPost for diagrams in text that he is writing.)
-<p/>Although PDFLaTeX cannot ordinarily handle PostScript graphics, the
-output of MetaPost is sufficiently simple and regular that PDFLaTeX
-can handle it direct, using code borrowed from ConTeXt &#8212; see
-<a href="FAQ-pdftexgraphics.html">graphics in PDFLaTeX</a>.
-<p/>Much of MetaPost&#8217;s source code was copied from Metafont&#8217;s sources, with
-Knuth&#8217;s permission.
-<p/>A mailing list discussing MetaPost is available;
-
- subscribe via the
- <a href="http://lists.tug.org/metapost">TUG <i>mailman</a> interface</i>.
-The TUG website also hosts a
-<a href="http://tug.org/metapost.html">MetaPost summary page</a>.
