Hallo everybody, due to learning some metapost for making a Schacht (shaft?) symbol, I got a thconfig file getting really fat and difficult to maintain. Is there a possibility to source metapost snippets from another file? Neither 'source' nor 'input' (Handbook p. 15) seem to work, which does not wonder me as the context 'layout' has to be obeyed. So, how are the people here handling that? Big, fat thconfig, or is there another way?
