Hey list,

I'd like my framed text to be split over multiple pages rather than
leaving a big empty page before it starts so that it can fill its own
whole page when large enough.

This is what I am using and works fine, with the exception of no inline
page breaks:

\definestartstop
    [SubDocument]
    [before={
        \crlf
        \setupbackground[frame=on,
                         before=\blank,
                         after=\blank,
                         corner=round,
                         topoffset=0.5cm,
                         leftoffset=0.5cm,
                         rightoffset=0.5cm,
                         bottomoffset=0.5cm]
        \startbackground
            },
     after={
        \stopbackground
        \crlf
           },
     commands={\setupalign[yes]},
     style=italic]

Then used as such:

\startSubDocument
...
\stopSubDocument
