Is there an "environment" (i.e., like a \startframed ... \stopframed) method for using \framed{ ... } on a block of text? Certain \start ... \stop combinations don't seem to play well with \framed{ ... }. For example,

\usemodule[amsl]

Please do not use the amsl module. It has not been updated in years and context core provides almost all the functionality.

\starttext \framed{ \startformula \startalign A=B \stopalign \stopformula } \stoptext

fails evidently because \framed{ ... } and the \startalign ... \stopalign don't like one another.

Untested, but the most likely reason is that framed starts a hbox rather than a vbox. Use \framed[align=normal]{...} to start a vbox. Aditya
