ConTeXt是一种很好的 TeX 格式，因为Metapost它紧密集成到其中，可以生成像
。
它很容易实现如果你知道Metapost（我承认我不知道，但正在学习）。以下是从文档中复制粘贴的代码来源从而产生了此页码样式。

虽然我喜欢用 来做其他事情ConTeXt，但我担心我的技能与我的 LaTeX 经验不相称，无法进行我通常做的一些排版，特别是数学和tikz图形。幸运的是，人们可以Metapost在 LaTeX 中使用gmp包。我已成功使用 的egreg示例来gmp制作精美的标题，但由于我对\sbox和 的\mpdim工作原理缺乏了解，我无法弄清楚页码的细节。我正在考虑使用 来fancyhdr集成Metapost图形以实现效果。这里有一个MWE可以玩的。
