Hi all,
Ah, found the solution in TextBackground. At here: https://www.contextgarden.net/TextBackground <https://www.contextgarden.net/TextBackground>
Can I have a 2-segment (2 vboxes) TextBackground (presumably with 2 TextBackgrounds, zero vspace between them)?
For the top segment, I want rounded corners only for top corners (corner=03 with \framed).
Seems I really should dig into MetaFun and TextBackground. Looks really fun and useful.
Sorry for the noise. Am a little carried away exploring the Garden. :-P
Regards
Jon
