Hi, I have a question regarding framed text. To obtain framed verbatim text that breaks over pages, I use the macro \definetextbackground. I have encountered a slight problem, however: sometimes the upper part of the frame appears on the bottom of the page with no text in it (because there's not enough room). The strange thing is that if I comment out the setupcolors macro the problem disappears (in the example that is). I have included an example of this below. Run with texexec --pdf test.tex The version of texexec I'm using is: TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2009.1.26 mes: english Thanks in advance Trychius ---------------------------------- test.tex ---------------------------------- \installlanguage[en] \setuppapersize[A4] \definelayout[myCustomLayout][ header=10mm, % height of header footer=10mm, % height of footer topspace=8mm, % space above header bottomspace=\topspace, % space below footer backspace=25mm, cutspace=20mm, width=middle, height=middle, marking=on, % enable the marking of text grid=yes, ] \setuplayout[myCustomLayout] \setuptyping[margin=10mm, space=off, % Do not show space characters explicitely color=black, % Color of verbatim text ] \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[FramedText][ location=paragraph, rulethickness=0.5pt, framecolor=red, background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow, leftoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize,rightoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize, topoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize,bottomoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize, frame=on] \starttext in this story took place, some of the most important mines of the Scottish coal beds had been exhausted by too rapid working.

In the region which extends between Edinburgh and Glasgow, for a distance of ten or twelve miles, lay the Aberfoyle colliery, of which the engineer, James Starr, had so long directed the works. For ten years these mines had been abandoned. No new seams had been discovered, although the soundings had been carried to a depth of fifteen hundred or even of two thousand feet, and when James Starr had retired, it was with the full conviction that even the smallest vein had been completely exhausted. \stoptyping \stopFramedText \stoptext
