I would like to put a rather large and complicated regular expression into the title-page of a document I'm writing. So far, I haven't had much luck defining an overlay that uses \starttyping ... \stoptyping. Basically, what I figured I should do was to write \defineoverlay [TitleGraphic] [{ \starttyping ... \stoptyping }] and then \setupbackgrounds[page][background=TitleGraphic] But that doesn't work: ! Argument of \copyverbatimline has an extra }. Have any suggestions on what I might try? Basically, what I want is a background with some arbitrary text, more or less like the pdfTeX user manual document does it [1], nikolai [1] http://www.pragma-ade.com/pdftex/pdftex-a.pdf -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: minimalistic.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}
