I have leaved through the ConTeXt and MetaFun manuals on the search for examples of graphics resembling the attached file which I created in TikZ.
I was wanting to switch to something more native to ConTeXt, but haven't quite found a way of realising it in ConTeXt or MetaFun.
Maybe someone would be so kind as to point me to the right section in the manual.
All I want is to define text boxes (of a fixed size) to fill them with a background colour and (centred, typeset) text. Do I need MetaFun for that, or should some table/framed text environment in ConTeXt be able to do that?
this can be done with \bTABLE .. \eTABLE
This works as expected, thank you Wolfgang and Hans. I am putting these tables in the margin, though, and neither stack=yes nor stack=continue prevent two of them from overlapping. Is there some casing for the table so that they won't overlap? Also, rather than the top, the bottom of the table is aligned with the line containing the \inmargin command... but maybe this will be fixed by a solution to the overlapping? Severin
