Bou Salim mailto:salimcollo7@gmail.com 26. Februar 2016 um 12:44 I'm trying to learn `context`, and I'm satisfied with their capacities.

I read in contextgarden http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupbackgrounds that options of `\setupbackgrounds` inherit from `\setupframed`, but if I setup `toffset=5mm` for `\setupbackgrounds[text][text][frame=on,toffset=5mm]` I have no effect?

With `frameoffset` you can modify the four directions but how about a single direction? The background mechanism for the text areas supports only a fraction of the normal framed options but you can do a lot when you use Metapost to draw the background.

\startuniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground} path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight ; draw p topenlarged 5mm ; setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[TextBackground][\uniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}] \setuppapersize[A4] \setuppagenumbering[state=none] \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=TextBackground] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext BTW: It’s rude to crosspost without mentioning this (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/296037/is-there-toffset-option-for-se...)
