Subject: Textbackgrounds interrupted by floats
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2015 11:31:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <024375AD-46AD-4F85-AEE3-D09FB765EBB9@csiro.au> (raw)

Folks,

Here is problem that must have been asked about before, but I can’t seem to find a solution on the archive or anywhere else. I want a colour background for verbatim text (for code), and floating figures. However if a figure floats to the bottom (as in the example below), and the verbatim text is broken over to the next page because it is long, I don’t want the colour background under the figure as well — I want no background at all.

What is the correct setup to do that?

Thanks, Robin
