Background on paragraphs

Background on paragraphs

[Antoine Cailliau]

Hi all,

I'm new to ConTeXt but not new to LaTeX and I really
enjoy to learn again something new and that seems
to be cleaner in syntax at least.

By reading the excursion, I typed something that did
not work on my computer. It is about the background
on paragraphs. I've a big black background and we
cannot see the text. I attached the PDF file produced.

I used texexec :
% texexec
TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD

and the following code :
\setupbackground[background=screen,corner=round]
\starttext
\startbackground
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Nam semper mi pellentesque diam. Vestibulum tellus erat,
vestibulum vel, blandit ac, placerat at, metus. Integer
rhoncus neque vel dolor. Sed dapibus arcu eu lorem.
In eleifend nunc nec justo. Maecenas sagittis ultricies
orci. Proin nec est. Integer dictum dictum felis. Mauris
nibh dui, tempus eget, auctor et, ultrices nec, nulla.
Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient
montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Duis lacinia vehicula
pede. Sed eros tellus, ultricies id, porttitor sed, bibendum
quis, metus. Pellentesque et justo eu ante tristique aliquet.
Quisque dui tellus, cursus sit amet, tincidunt nec,
imperdiet et, nibh. Quisque sapien elit, semper ac, molestie
et, dapibus vulputate, nunc. Sed in nisl. Vivamus ligula.
Aliquam eros pede, iaculis vitae, imperdiet sit amet,
commodo a, nibh. Pellentesque a turpis.
\stopbackground
\stoptext

I hope to have some help and feedback about,

Cheers,

Antoine C.

Hi,

Thank you a lot for your quick answer. It
perfectly worked

> \setupcolors[state=start]
Why is it needed, what does that do exactly?
Where can I find more information about?

Cheers,
