Hans,
I definitely see problems with the \starttextbackground[]-\stoptextbackground environment (discussed in the "displays"-brochure).
When the textbackground falls at a page crossing -- i.e. starts at the top of a page -- the coloring extends backwards on the page just left. It can be remedied by putting a \null just in front of \starttextbackground. The extra vertical space this introduces just manages to constrain the background to its own page. However, this is not a general solution, on other places the extra vertical space is certainly not wanted.
I cannot find the exact nature of the problem. I suspect it has to do with the \output-routines, but these are not my speciality, to say the least. So, not much help there,
Also, the \starttextbackground does not respect footnotes, these are colored. In contrast, the old \startbackground-\stopbackground does respect footnotes. The coloring stops at the footnote and restarts at the next page. I should like that for \starttextbackground as well.
can you make me a minimal example of where things go wrong (keep in mind that there are two methods, tex and paragraph) with respect to footnotes, maybe i can make that an option (there are more exceptions) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
