Yes, replacing background by a framedtext works fine. In fact I used that (and the 300 pages book compiled fine :-) but I changed to background to allow the code portions to split in several pages (when put in normal text flow). But if you say that background should be avoided in floats i'll use the framed typing definition for floats (that cannot split anyway).
i adapted the backgrounds to recognize floats, i'll sen dyou the file
BTW, is there other known unsafe combinations to avoid?
well, \starttextbackground is the more modern way to go (only one level needed since one can hook in mp code) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
