Dear list, I use for one of my own projects some code given by Wolfgang to Fabrice (see below), which is working fine : at the end of each chapter, I've placed a framed text as a summary (25 lines with few footnotes). I have 2 questions : 1. What are the keys to manage the space before and after the frame ? Here I have : \defineframedtext [MyFrame] [before={\blank}, after={\blank}, frame=off, background=MyFrame, %width=\textwidth, width=max, height=fit, style=regular] But the [before={\blank} command forces the framed text to be printed on the next page. Is there other keys to better fit this framed text ? 2. As you see, the key style is 'regular' here; I know it might be 'italics' or 'bold'. But I want to play with the size of the fonts only in this frame. How can achieve that ? Many thanks for your help. JP This is the sample code : % Begin framed text settings \defineframedtext [MyFrame] [before={\blank}, after={\blank}, frame=off, background=MyFrame, %width=\textwidth, width=max, height=fit, style=regular] \definelabel [Definition] [headstyle=\bf\smallcaps] \startuseMPgraphic{MyFrame} path b; picture p; %p := textext.rt("\white\Definition"); p := textext.rt("\white\framedtextparameter{Title}"); %p := textext.rt("\white\getvariable{text}{text1}"); p := p shifted (2BodyFontSize,OverlayHeight-ypart center p+.25ExHeight); b := boundingbox p leftenlarged .5EmWidth rightenlarged .5EmWidth; fill OverlayBox withcolor lightgray; %\MPcolor{ fill b withcolor darkred; draw bottomboundary OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor darkred; draw topboundary OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor darkred; draw p; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 2mm; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [MyFrame] [\useMPgraphic{MyFrame}] % end framed text settings

Hi Thomas, I am very sorry. As a beginner with ConTeXt, I surely make mistakes, even in the way to show which issues I am confronting to. Maybe I ought to give the whole code where some errors occured, but I thought that the code was too long to be mailed to this list. That's why I have mailed a piece of the code concerning a colored framed but not the whole stuff. Thinking the issue occured with this special frame (and not with any other kind of frame), I have given this particular code. BTW, in order to make understandable what kind of issue occured by this particular frame, I didn't want to give a sample too huge (I place this colored frame at the end of each section of my book). Anyway, I try to understand how manage the place of THIS colored frame just after a text (with no rejection of the frame to the following page); and I will be very pleased to understand how to resize the text font inside the frame. At last, how to manage footnotes within this framed text (the footnote numbering appears, but the text doesn't appear inside nor outside the framed text). Thank you very much for your help.

I have 2 questions : You’ve been told before: please make minimal compilable examples. Yours is neither minimal (contains lots of completely extraneous stuff) nor does it compile. This is considered rude because it is taken to mean: I value my time so much more than yours. Please don’t do this.

Thank you very much Pablo ! As a beginner I don't understand very well the complete meaning of "minimal" working sample, perhaps because my own code is full of mistakes and compiles sometimes with somes issues. The way of making space before and after the frame is now very clear to me, aswell as the way to resize the font size inside a frame. For my own text between \starttext and \stoptext is not an automatic false text, I didn't understand why the code provides this huge blank space before the frame. Either didn't I understand why sometimes a frame completely disappears when I supprime a footnote previously written inside the frame (but it is another topic...).

Hi Jean-Pierre,

sorry, for top-posting, but I think this way the reply will be clearer.

In your previous sample you had two questions.

This sample shows the answer:

\defineframedtext [MyFrame] [before={\blank[6*big]}, after={\blank[6*big]}, style={\setupbodyfont[5pt]}]

\starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input zapf \startMyFrame\input knuth\stopMyFrame} \stoptext

1. before and after control distance in elements.

2. \setupbodyfont[dimension] or \switchtobodyfont[dimension] as values for the "style" key modify the size (as shown above). Other ways of doing it are \tfx, \itx and so on.

Your sample isn’t minimal and it doesn’t compile.

\dorecurse needs two arguments (two pair of braces: {}). The second is missing.

BTW, serif for mainface is defined twice. GFS Didot is selected after Garamond.

Please compile the following:

AfaIk, frames cannot be split, so the whole frame is moved to the next page. It needs 8 lines and it only has 6 in the first page.

I hope it is clear now.

Hi Mikael,

I confirm that the latest beta (ConTeXt version 2016.08.11 13:56 MKIV beta) has the issue you are reporting. This bug is absent from the current version from TeXLive2016, that is ConTeXt version 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV current.

Some time ago I reported an analogous issue with startalign, and it seemed to me that Hans fixed it. But it appeared again with the beta 2016.08.11 13:56.

Best regards: OK

gives the attached pdf. In the first formula, the location of the equation number seems to be wrong (I would have expected it to be to the right, like in the second example). In the (nice, but rather old now) My Way by Aditya, this does not seem to happen.

With the latest beta, it looks better, but not perfect (I'd expect the (1) and the (2) to be aligned). Same input file as in the first email in this thread gives the attached pdf. /Mikael
