In several palces I want to set up framed text with a gray background and rounded corners. Here is my \setupframed description:

There should be a comma after 0.1.

With respect, I don't think so. Commas separate parameters. the last "0.1" is properly followed by a "]". -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

Hi John,

this should work:

\setupframed[framecorner=round, frameradius=0.1em, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.70, backgroundcorner=round, backgroundradius=0.1em, corner=round, radius=0.1em]

Radius, framedradius and backgroundradius expect dimensions as values, not mere numbers.

BTW, having a sample that shows the problem increases the reply speed :-).

I hope it helps,

Pablo You had the cure.

I built a sample and then played with the em value. Lacking precise guidance I thought that the value was one of those 0 to 1 ranges. Not so. setting at 1.0 em gives me what I was looking for. The setting 0.1 em gave me rounding that was imperceptible without magnification. Here is my successful sample: ------------------------------------- \setupframed[framecorner=round, frameradius=1em, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.70, backgroundcorner=round, backgroundradius=1em, corner=round, radius1em] \starttext Some text. \startframedtext[middle] \centerline{A Vision Example} In the year 20xx, our company is internationally recognized as the premier supplier of your food products. We regularly exceed customer expectations by providing innovative and valuable your food products. \stopframedtext Some more text \stoptext --------------------------------- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

I put commands like the one under discussion in a separate file called "macros.tex" which is hte first file called in my standard "book.tex" top level file. For some reason it didn't work. So I copied it to just before my first text frame in the 'chapter01.tex' file. Then it worked for that frame and subsequent instances. Here is my book.tex file as used in my current project: \input variables.tex \input macros.tex \input fonts.tex \starttext %\showlayout \startfrontmatter \input half.tex \input title.tex \input contents.tex \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter %\input sample3.tex \input body.tex \stopbodymatter \stoptext I will add more calls later for acknowledgements, appendices etc. all in separate subfiles. \body.tex is a subfile that calls the individual chapter subsubfiles. Variables.tex contains the definitions of title, subtitle, author, publisher, ISBN etc. John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
