Dear all, my problem with framed text persists in paragraphs: The frame extends over the entire page as soon as the paragraph has more than one line. Problem exists in mkii and mkiv. Minimal example below. Thanks, Matthias \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[rgb] \definetextbackground [defbackground] [backgroundcolor=lightgray, background=color, frame=on, location=paragraph] \defineparagraphs [TwoThird][n=2] \setupparagraphs [TwoThird] [1] [width=.66\textwidth] \starttext \startTwoThird \starttextbackground[defbackground] The frame is too wide. The frame is too wide. The frame is too wide. \stoptextbackground % \nextTwoThird \placefigure [here] [figure:cow] {Mooh} {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\textwidth]} \stopTwoThird \stoptext

I have seen this before when trying to use textbacground to highlight stuff in tables. I don't know a solution, but if want to highlight whole paragrah, and do not want the ability to split across pages, you can use framed texts. \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[rgb] \defineframedtext [defbackground] [backgroundcolor=lightgray, background=color, width=broad, frame=on, location=paragraph] \defineparagraphs [TwoThird][n=2] \setupparagraphs [TwoThird] [1] [width=.66\textwidth] \starttext \startTwoThird \startdefbackground The frame is too wide. The frame is too wide. The frame is too wide. \stopdefbackground % \nextTwoThird \placefigure [here] [figure:cow] {Mooh} {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\textwidth]} \stopTwoThird \stoptext Aditya
Thanks Aditya, that is what I need. I don't really understand the difference between framedtext and textbackground, but all my framing and coloring desires seem to be realizable with framedtext. Matthias On Apr 5, 2010, at 7:50 PM, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

framedtext is the older mechanism, with some limitations but pure tex textbackground is more advanced using metapost; it can nest backgrounds, have inline backgrounds, etc ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
