Thanks Hans for the prompt reply. I tried the following code: \definetextbackground[A] [frame=off,location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=gray] \setuptyping[before={\starttextbackground[A]},after= {\stoptextbackground}] But this resulted in tons of errors. Could you give some instruction as to how to proceed? Thanks so much! Colin On Jun 19, 2006, at 6:20 PM, Hans Hagen wrote:

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt and I'm preparing a document for my own reference. The source code is below. I came across a few weird issues: 1) I don't quite understand why the page break occurs on because of \startbackground, best use textbackgrounds

pages 4 and 6; 2) Why are the first two items in the table of contents in red instead of green?

try:

\setupinteraction[color=red,contrastcolor=blue]

the contrastcolor is used whet the ref is on the same page

...

Thanks so much!!

Hi, The wrapping was indeed caused by the mail program. I attached source code and the log file below. BTW, I'm using the 6/17/06 distribution. Thanks! On Jun 20, 2006, at 2:51 AM, nico wrote:

Thanks Hans for the prompt reply.

I tried the following code:

\definetextbackground[A] [frame=off,location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=gray] \setuptyping[before={\starttextbackground[A]},after= {\stoptextbackground}]

But this resulted in tons of errors. Could you give some instruction as to how to proceed?

I don't know if it's the mailer that wrapped the text, but you should stuck option=value, like this:

\setuptyping[before={\starttextbackground[A]}, after={\stoptextbackground}]

With a "old" release (2006.05.23), it works fine.

Hi Hans, since textbackground seems now the default background feature to use, do you plan to fix the textbackground overlapping trouble i submitted some time ago?

remind me what it was ...
