Hey list,
I'd like to get framed text to break over a page, but I'm not sure how
to do this. Right now, I am using:
\def\StartSpecialFramedText%
{
\crlf
\startframedtext
[width=broad,
bottom=\vss,
top=\vss,
align=right,
corner=rectangular]
\it
}
\def\StopSpecialFramedText%
{
\stopframedtext
\crlf
}
...
\StartSpecialFramedText
Some
...
text
\StopSpecialFramedText
But the problem is that does not page break, but seems to want to stay
all together on a single page.

Hi again,
there’s also the background mechanism which has been explicitly
(see pack-rul.mkiv) designed with page breaks in mind. Example:
···8<····························································
\setupbackground[
corner=rectangular,
frame=on,
background=,
]
\starttext
\startbackground
\dorecurse{42}{\input dawkins \endgraf}
\stopbackground
\stoptext
···8<····························································

Hey Phil,
I'm not very competent with ConTeXt, but I tried to translate what you
and wrote into the following:
\def\StartSpecialFramedText%
{
\crlf
\setupbackground
[corner=rectangular,
frame=on,
background=
]
\startbackground
\startframedtext
[width=broad,
bottom=\vss,
top=\vss,
align=right,
corner=rectangular]
\it
}
\def\StopSpecialFramedText%
{
\stopframedtext
\stopbackground
\crlf
}
...
\StartSpecialFramedText
Lots
...
of
...
Text
\StopSpecialFramedText
It comes out looking almost the same as initially, but with a box around
it.

Solution 1:
\definestartstop
[SpecialFramed]
[ before={\setupbackground[frame=on,before=\blank,after=\blank]\startbackground},
after=\stopbackground,
%commands={\setupalign[flushleft,broad]},
style=italic]
\starttext
\input knuth
\startSpecialFramed
\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth\par}
\stopSpecialFramed
\input knuth
\stoptext
Solution 2:
\definetextbackground
[SpecialFramed]
[ before=\blank,
after=\blank,
background=,
framecolor=black,
location=paragraph,
%align={flushleft,broad},
style=italic]
\starttext
\input knuth
\startSpecialFramed
\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth\par}
\stopSpecialFramed
\input knuth
\stoptext
Wolfgang

Thanks Wolfgang. It worked. I also didn't know about \definestartstop.
Thanks for that too.
