Multi-page textbackground ignores topoffset
Hi, Is there any way to get a multi-page textbackground to respect topoffset on each page? From the second page onwards, it leaves no offset at the top. I don't think I can use background instead, as I'm nesting the textbackgound under itemize and also use itemize within it (correct me if this works okay?). A minimal example (note context live doesn't display the frame, which is sort of necessary to see the problem): \definetextbackground[Test][ location=paragraph, topoffset=1em, bottomoffset=1em, leftoffset=1em, rightoffset=1em, frame=on, framecolor=black] \starttext This is some text outside of a text background. \startTest \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par} \stopTest This is more text outside of a text background. \stoptext Kip Warner started a thread about this several months ago, but it seems to have died before anyone offered a solution. Thanks, Nick
Hello all,
I tried working around this by wrapping the textbackground in a background
with the correct topoffset and then manually correcting for the itemize
indent, but on the first page this doubles the topoffset and introduces
problems with the bottomoffset. If this gives anyone an idea for a
workaround, though, I'd be grateful to hear about it.
Would this behavior of textbackground regarding topoffset be considered a
bug, or a missing feature? Are the any plans to do anything about it in the
future?
Thanks,
Nick

\startTest \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par} \stopTest
This is more text outside of a text background. \stoptext

I have the same problem. A small-not-so-good-hack would be to define a tiny backgroundoffset as well. This messes the layout a little... but you might think it is better then having no offset at all... André Caldas.

injecting top of page spacing could mess up a lot of things ... ypu could play with topskip and such ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
