Do you have to use textbackground (assuming, of course, that you are using MkIV)?
I think so. I can't remember why, but someone on the list probably made a compelling argument for its use.
The main advantage of textbackground is that they adapt to pararagraph shapes (if you use things like \startplacefigure[location=left] ... \stopplacefigure), and can be nested.
Yes, which I may require from time to time. Why doesn't the bottomoffset and topoffset variables do anything in a textbackground? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
