Hi, I have a short question about verbatim areas (\starttyping): I have been trying to define a background color to verbatim areas in a document. My method so far is to define a textbackground named "verbatim" and refer to this in the setuptyping method: \setuptyping[typing][margin=0.5cm,bodyfont=8.0pt, before={\starttextbackground[verbatim]}, after={\stoptextbackground}] This works only partly. For example, when using long verbatim texts that spans over more than one page, the background color disappears on the last page. Is there any other easy way of controlling the background color on verbatim areas? Best regards, Tommy Jensen

Is there any other easy way of controlling the background color on verbatim areas?
can you make a small example that shows where it goes wrong? ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

The example I used is shown below. Other observations are: - The code works with mkIV but not mkII - Removing the chapters in the test file also make it work with mkII - I am using the latest win32 standalone ConTeXt Best regards, Tommy Jensen % START EXAMPLE \setupcolors[state=start] % We use Palatino as the main body font \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt] \definetextbackground[verbatim] [background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow, backgroundoffset=0cm, offset=0.5cm, frame=on, framecolor=black, location=paragraph, color=black] % Setup verbatim \setuptyping[typing][margin=1cm,bodyfont=8.0pt, before={\starttextbackground[verbatim]}, after={\stoptextbackground}] \starttext \chapter{One} Chapter one. \chapter{Two} Chapter two. \chapter{Three} Chapter three. \starttyping This is a long verbatim section.
