Hello,

Is there a way (magical option) to have the framedtext width adapt to the environment width where it is put?

\defineframedtext[mybox] [width=local]

Thanks, It works fine for framedtext! Unfortunately it doesn't help with background. Another option?

Again, use textbackground. The following honors the present width \setuplayout[middle] \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[screen] [backgrond=screen, frame=on, strut=yes, width=local, location=paragraph] \starttext Here is an example, \startitemize[n] \item \input tufte \startscreen Some background test \stopscreen \stopitemize \stoptext Aditya

well, this is what 'local' is for:

\defineframedtext[mybox] [width=local,..]

(i hit send button too soon -) here we can use a keyword but when no such option is present one can say: \setlocalhsize \hsize\localhsize as in: \start \setlocalhsize \hsize\localhsize whatever content \par \stop Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
