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 On Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 3:07 PM, Nicholas Ulle wrote:

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
