re: might be an error in ConTeXt file prop-mis.tex

I had some difficulty with typesetting backgrounds. It seems there is an error in file prop-mis.tex (version 2004-06-21): token "\popsplitnegativeproperty" is never defined but "\popsplitoverprintproperty" is twice. I think the second one should be \popsplitnegativeproperty, because then the sequence \startbackground some text \stopbackground does typeset after regenerating the formats.

ah, clever, thanks for pointing this out; btw, there is a better background mechanism (see details manual) using some context-metapost magic 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
