Framed Text Split Over Multiple Pages
Hey list, I'd like my framed text to be split over multiple pages rather than leaving a big empty page before it starts so that it can fill its own whole page when large enough. This is what I am using and works fine, with the exception of no inline page breaks: \definestartstop [SubDocument] [before={ \crlf \setupbackground[frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, leftoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm, bottomoffset=0.5cm] \startbackground }, after={ \stopbackground \crlf }, commands={\setupalign[yes]}, style=italic] Then used as such: \startSubDocument ... \stopSubDocument -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Can you explain what you mean by inline pagebreak? Aditya

Hey Aditya. I mean that I would like framed text to be split over multiple pages whenever possible. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Thanks Hans. I saw it already, but I couldn't get the frame to appear around the text. Can you show me the textbackground equivalent that has page breaks to the following that I have been using? \definestartstop [SomeFramedText] [before={ \crlf \setupbackground[frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, leftoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm, bottomoffset=0.5cm] \startbackground }, after={ \stopbackground \crlf }, commands={\setupalign[yes]}, style=italic] -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Are you using MkII or MkIV? Is metapost working? \starttext \startMPcode draw fullcircle scaled 3cm ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Aditya

$ context --version ... mtx-context | current version: 2011.06.27 23:49 It errors with that code you gave me. I can't seem to find the specific error message as ConTeXt dumps tonnes and tonnes of pages of console output that it's probably buried somewhere in. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

you can search for 'textbackground' (which is another mechanism) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
