Text in a box now broken

Text in a box now broken

[Kip Warner]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1152 bytes --]

Hey folks,

I noticed as of maybe a week ago, that all of the text I have positioned
inside of a box has disappeared. I can see everything else, as before,
but not the stuff in the box. The box just shows up as a mangled line.

The following is a minimal example from ConTeXt version 2011.11.17
09:18. This code was working just fine a few days ago.

\definestartstop
    [TimelineDocument]
    [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]

\starttext
\startTimelineDocument
Some stuff in a box.
\stopTimelineDocument
\stoptext

Thanks a lot.

This is tested and works on my machine:

\definebackground
  [TimelineDocumentFrame]
  [frame=on,
   before=\blank,
   after=\blank,
   corner=round,
   topoffset=0.5cm,
   rightoffset=0.5cm]

\definestartstop
  [TimelineDocument]
  [before=\startTimelineDocumentFrame,
   after=\stopTimelineDocumentFrame,
   style=italic]

\starttext

\startTimelineDocument
Some stuff in a box.
\stopTimelineDocument

\stoptext

Thanks Wolfgang. You're always very helpful. Any idea why my version
stopped working or why it is not a good approach?

Hey Wolfgang. One other thing. Your \definebackground and
\defomestartstop works fine in the minimal example you gave, but if I
take it into my environment of my existing project and replace my old
\definestartstop with that, I still have the same problem of the mangled
box with no visible text in it.

Hey Wolfgang. I just retested your minimal and realized that while it
does work, only for the first box. Try this and you'll see what I mean:

\definebackground
[TimelineDocumentFrame]
[frame=on,
before=\blank,
after=\blank,
corner=round,
topoffset=0.5cm,
rightoffset=0.5cm]

\definestartstop
[TimelineDocument]
[before=\startTimelineDocumentFrame,
after=\stopTimelineDocumentFrame,
style=italic]

\starttext

\startTimelineDocument
Some stuff in a box.
\stopTimelineDocument

\startTimelineDocument
Some more stuff in a box.
\stopTimelineDocument

\stoptext

Thanks Hans. I thought something was amiss and figured it was a bug,
since it was working fine until a recent new version of ConTeXt.
Hopefully the PPA I am drawing ConTeXt from pulls the fixed version some
time soon. Was the fix committed to mainline?

if you consider beta to be mainline, yes (but not yet uploaded)

(it was a side effect of mkiv-ing the code .. keep in mind that these 
backgrounds are somewhat old .. textbackgrounds are an alternative)

Understood. Do you have a more appropriate version of what I was trying
to do using textbackgounds instead?

it depends .. if you have small boxes, you as well use a regular 
framedtext (with background) or when you span pages you can use 
textbackgrounds ... the backgrounds you use is some compromise

Hmm, I am using boxes that sometimes span multiple pages. This is what I
was using originally. How would it look if it used textbackgrounds?

\definestartstop
    [TimelineDocument]
    [before={
        \crlf
        \setupbackground[frame=on,
                         before=\blank,

                         corner=round,
                         topoffset=0.5cm,
                         leftoffset=0.5cm,
                         rightoffset=0.5cm,
                         bottomoffset=0.5cm]

Thanks, but I still don't know what was wrong with the old method. In
any case, I am experimenting now with textbackground. Thanks again for
your help.
