Hello,
I would like to discuss a few points about backgrounds (\startbackground ... \stopbackground).

Actually I did have a look at it (assuming you're talking about textbackgrounds), but I found their behaviour to be rather different from that of backgrounds even when location=paragraph. For example, setting frame=on doesn't give me a frame, and it doesn't seem to support rounded corners for neither the background nor the frame. Also, setting a largish offset "covers" the text that precedes the background, and this isn't nice at all. I think that textbackgrounds and backgrounds serve different purpouses. And what about the other requests? (Behaviour at splits, different corner styles) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
