Hi,
I have a question regarding framed text.
To obtain framed verbatim text that breaks over pages, I use the macro
\definetextbackground. I have encountered a slight problem, however:
sometimes the upper part of the frame appears on the bottom of the
page with no text in it (because there's not enough room). The strange
thing is that if I comment out the setupcolors macro the problem
disappears (in the example that is).
I have included an example of this below. Run with texexec --pdf test.tex
The version of texexec I'm using is:
TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE
1997-2005
texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
context : ver: 2005.01.31
cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2009.1.26 mes: english
Thanks in advance
Trychius

in this story took place, some of the most
important mines of the Scottish coal beds
had been exhausted by too rapid working.
In
the region which extends between Edinburgh
and Glasgow, for a distance of ten or twelve
miles, lay the Aberfoyle colliery, of which
the engineer, James Starr, had so long directed
the works. For ten years these mines had been
abandoned. No new seams had been discovered,
although the soundings had been carried
to a depth of fifteen hundred or even
of
two thousand feet, and when James Starr had
retired, it was with the full conviction that
even the smallest vein had been completely
exhausted.
