Because then the text is fine on the left side, but then goes past the
right frame border.

This seems to work, but I find a problem is that if the text box spans
multiple pages, bottomoffset / topoffset are ignored at the points where
the page breaks. Suggestions?

Hey list,
I am using the following to typeset a text box containing text.
\definetextbackground[GeneralDocument][
location=paragraph,
color=color_text,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=colour_page,
framecolor=colour_text,
topoffset=1.0cm,
bottomoffset=1.0cm,
leftoffset=1.0cm,
rightoffset=1.0cm,
before={
\blank[2*big]
},
after={
\blank[2*big]
},
style=small,
corner=round,
frame=on]
This seems to work, but I find a problem is that if the text box spans
multiple pages, bottomoffset / topoffset are ignored at the points where
the page breaks. Suggestions?

Hey Hans, Aditya, and Wolfgang,
You gentlemen seem to be very knowledgeable with ConTeXt, so I will run
a question by you that has been plaguing me for months. I am using the
following to typeset a text box containing text.
\definetextbackground[GeneralDocument][
location=paragraph,
color=color_text,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=colour_page,
framecolor=colour_text,
topoffset=1.0cm,
bottomoffset=1.0cm,
leftoffset=1.0cm,
rightoffset=1.0cm,
before={
\blank[2*big]
},
after={
\blank[2*big]
},
style=small,
corner=round,
frame=on]
This works fine, but I still have a problem if the text box spans
multiple pages because bottomoffset / topoffset seem to be ignored at
the points where the page breaks. The text just goes right to the edge
of the page top or bottom without any whitespace.
Any ideas?

Yes, at least Hans.
IIRC he is the *only* author of ConTeXt.

Do you have to use textbackground (assuming, of course, that you are using
MkIV)? Regular backgrounds take care of top and bottom offsets:
\definebackground
[whatever]
[topoffset=1cm,
bottomoffset=1cm,
frame=on]
\starttext
\input ward
\startwhatever
\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\stopwhatever
\input ward
\stoptext
The main advantage of textbackground is that they adapt to pararagraph
shapes (if you use things like \startplacefigure[location=left] ...
\stopplacefigure), and can be nested.

I think so. I can't remember why, but someone on the list probably made
a compelling argument for its use.

Yes, which I may require from time to time. Why doesn't the bottomoffset
and topoffset variables do anything in a textbackground?
