Hi David,
This is a bug that I do not have a real fix for, but I have a workaround for you instead.

Hans, I have to wait until Gerben's Context Updated catches up to your update. But I will do it then. On Mar 20, 2006, at 2:42 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

I have a similar problem. Attached is the (not so) minimal example that I could prepare. (This is part of my way on mathalignment). See the page break on page 2, while all the page is empty. Adding \kern\zeropoint prevents the page break. But I find such an page break very confusing. This is context version.

This doesn't seem to work. Changing line 303 of core-mat.tex \doif => \doifsomething and regenerating formats, does not change the output of the test file. I still get the incorrect page breaking. If I use the framedtext, then everything works fine. Something seems to be going wrong with \startbackground \stopbackground.

no, this patch is not related to the pagebreak but needed anyway (you're just lucky for not running into that bug) ; the pagebreak is just the result of background going crazy (well, not being able to determine if there is enough space left) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

framedtext does not break across pages :( Can startbackground be persuaded to become sane? Thanks, Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008

We already have a feature request to make startextbackground do everything startbackground can do. After that, startbackground can be flagged a deprecated command. Cheers, Taco

\definetextbackground works :). The following works correctly (breaks across pages, and does not give false blank pages) \definetextbackground [example] [width=\textwidth, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, frame=off, leftoffset=1em, rightoffset=1em, location=paragraph, after={\blank[small]}, before={\blank[small]}] Thanks, Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008
