Getting framed text to page break
Hey list, I'd like to get framed text to break over a page, but I'm not sure how to do this. Right now, I am using: \def\StartSpecialFramedText% { \crlf \startframedtext [width=broad, bottom=\vss, top=\vss, align=right, corner=rectangular] \it } \def\StopSpecialFramedText% { \stopframedtext \crlf } ... \StartSpecialFramedText Some ... text \StopSpecialFramedText But the problem is that does not page break, but seems to want to stay all together on a single page. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Hi again, there’s also the background mechanism which has been explicitly (see pack-rul.mkiv) designed with page breaks in mind. Example: ···8<···························································· \setupbackground[ corner=rectangular, frame=on, background=, ] \starttext \startbackground \dorecurse{42}{\input dawkins \endgraf} \stopbackground \stoptext ···8<···························································· Hth, Philipp
\def\StartSpecialFramedText% { \crlf \startframedtext [width=broad, bottom=\vss, top=\vss, align=right, corner=rectangular] \it }
\def\StopSpecialFramedText% { \stopframedtext \crlf }
...
\StartSpecialFramedText Some ... text \StopSpecialFramedText
But the problem is that does not page break, but seems to want to stay all together on a single page.

Hey Phil, I'm not very competent with ConTeXt, but I tried to translate what you and wrote into the following: \def\StartSpecialFramedText% { \crlf \setupbackground [corner=rectangular, frame=on, background= ] \startbackground \startframedtext [width=broad, bottom=\vss, top=\vss, align=right, corner=rectangular] \it } \def\StopSpecialFramedText% { \stopframedtext \stopbackground \crlf } ... \StartSpecialFramedText Lots ... of ... Text \StopSpecialFramedText It comes out looking almost the same as initially, but with a box around it. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Thanks Wolfgang. It worked. I also didn't know about \definestartstop. Thanks for that too. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
