Dear Andreas, Pablo and the list,
I did read your question and answer with great interest, since I encountered similar issues. Sadly your trick to get footnotes that are defined in some environments like tables displayed at the bottom of the page does not work if you try it using backgrounds. Here I provide a minimal example that shows the problem:
Dear Mathias,
I didn’t even know that backgrounds existed in ConTeXt.
Framed texts does the trick with your sample:
\setupframedtext [width=\textwidth, frame=on, rulethickness=1pt, corner=0, offset=12pt]
\starttext \startframedtext If you typeset text with background, the footnote workaround does not work. \postponenotes\footnote{So what could I do to get this footnote displayed? Use framed texts.} \stopframedtext \flushnotes \stoptext
But if you really need a background, I’m afraid it won’t work (or I don’t know how to make it work).
Just in case it might help,
Pablo
Dear Pablo,
thank you very much for your suggestion! Sadly I have noticed that framed texts do not break across pages (at least if I simply copy and use your code). I remember that I switched to backgrounds (from \definetextbackground) because I did get problems at page breaks. Regarding that backgrounds showed the best behaviour but sadly it has the described problems using footnotes.
Do you have any further suggestions how I can enable framed text to break across pages?
And can anyone tell me how I can get rid of the problem of backgrounds and footnotes?
Again, thank you very much for your kind help!
Best Mathias
Does no-one know what I can do to settle the problem? I have created a minimal example that shows the problem using textbackground to work around the footnote problem. But sadly the framedtext environment does not seem to be able to break across pages. Besides I would prefer the background solution. So what can I do to get the footnotes in a background environment displayed? Help appreciated! Best Mathias The minimal example follows: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupbackground[ width=\textwidth, frame=on, framecolor=black, rulethickness=1pt, background=color, backgroundcolor=green, corner=0, before={\blank[4*small]}, after={\blank[5*small]}, topoffset=10pt, bottomoffset=10pt, leftoffset=10pt, rightoffset=10pt] \setupframedtext [width=\textwidth, frame=on, framecolor=black, rulethickness=1pt, background=color, backgroundcolor=red, corner=0, offset=12pt] \starttext % \startbackground % If you typeset text with background, the footnote workaround does not work.\postponenotes\footnote{So what could I do to get this footnote displayed?} % \stopbackground \flushnotes % \startbackground % One advantages of backgrounds is that they break across pages, as you can see here: % \dorecurse{5}{% \input{knuth}% } % \stopbackground % Compare that to the output of framedtext (the gap on this page is not intended!): % \startframedtext % Here I am getting trouble with breaking across pages. This was the first reason why I switched to backgrounds. % \dorecurse{5}{% \input{knuth}% } % \stopframedtext % \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
