Re: [NTG-context] background color problem

      Thanks for the info.
You are right. definetextbackground seems more to be what I'm looking for.

Where do I find documentation about it? I didn't find a details.pdf.

I try to create some text with background color.
The following code snippet doesn't work however.
___________________________________________
\definecolor [darkgreen] [r=.0, g=.5, b=.0]
\setupcolors[state=start]
...
\setupbackgrounds
 [text][text]
 [background=color,
  backgroundcolor=darkgreen,
  backgroundoffset=1.25mm]
This defines an "overlay" that is placed under the whole text area.
Thus, IMO, not the thing you want get.
As far as i understand details.pdf (following is untested) it
should work with:
\definetextbackground[TextBG]
  [backgroundcolor=darkgreen,
   backgroundoffset=.25cm,
   offset=.5cm,
   frame=off,
   location=paragraph,
   color=white]
\starttextbackground[TextBG]
Some Text.
\stoptextbackground
