Margin rules

Margin rules

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

Hello,

ConTeXt provides for setting margin rules. I still have to test
wether they split correctly across pages or not, but regardless of
this, it would be nice to have some more tuning ability (like:
color, roundness of the top and bottom extremes, distance from
margin depending on level).

If margin rules can be split across pages, one might also use them
(or the same mechanism) to build framed/boxed text which splits
across pages.

What do you think?

The latter can be set with:

\setupmarginrules
  [level=1]

You can set the level, but you cannot customize its
color/position/etc, which is what I was talking about.

i can easily implement that (with cross page support and so), but 
definitely not today; so put it on the wish list and ask me again later
