Framed text splitting over pages

Framed text splitting over pages

[Slawek Zak]

Hi,

I'd like to split some source code over a couple of pages. I'd like it
to have distinct background and rounded frame around. 

Search on google comes up with an email from Hans answering some
fellow wanting the same thing, but the technique used was
textbackgrounds which doesn't give me the frame, just the background.

Is there any way to tickle framed+splitfloat or any other macro to
achieve what I want?

Thanks in advance!

/S

text background can have frames, and anything drawable by metapost; if you can;t 
find it in details.pdf let me know; anyhow, the next one gives me a frame and a 
background

(see core-pos.tex for the real dirty details and how to hook in your own mp code)

todo, excercise: only topline at first page and bottom line at last page (not 
that hard -)

\setupcolors[state=start]

\definetextbackground[zak][state=start]

\starttext

\starttextbackground[zak]
\dorecurse{10}{\input bryson\endgraf}
\stoptextbackground

\stoptext

It does in my case too, but \definetextbackground seems to ignore
framecorner=round parameter. I use ConTeXt ver: 2004.6.30  fmt: 2004.7.5. Too
old?

Doh. Would be cool to have. Not in this case though, as for rounded frames it
doesn't look right :)

Thanks for swift response Hans, /S

It gives me frame too, but definetextbackground doesn't accept framecorner=round
parameter. I use ConTeXt ver: 2004.6.30  fmt: 2004.7.5. Is it too old?

{code snippet}
\definetextbackground[zak][state=start,framecolor=blue,framecorner=round]

Would work nicely. Not in this case though, as rounded frames would look rather
silly this way :)

ok, this is old functionality

\setupcolors[state=start]

\definetextbackground[zak][state=start,corner=round,radius=10pt]

\starttext

\starttextbackground[zak]
\dorecurse{10}{\input bryson\endgraf}
\stoptextbackground

\stoptext


ps. these are the mappings to mp:

            gridtype=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!alternative},
            filltype=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!background},
            linetype=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!frame},
            gridcolor=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!framecolor},
            linecolor=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!framecolor},
            fillcolor=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!backgroundcolor},
            filloffset=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!backgroundoffset},
            gridwidth=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!rulethickness},
            linewidth=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!rulethickness},
            lineradius=\getvalue{\??td#1\c!radius}}}%

Footnote alignment and number style

[Jack M. Lyon]

Esteemed ConTeXters:

One more question: ConTeXt displays footnotes like this (I'm using carets to
indicate superscript):

----------------------------------------------------------------------
          This is body text. And here is some more body text.

^1^    This is the text of a footnote. This is more text in the
          footnote. And here is more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What I would like to have is this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
          This is body text. And here is some more body text.

               1. This is the text of a footnote. This is more text
           in the footnote. And here is more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That is:

1. A footnote number the same size as the footnote text.

2. The footnote number *not* raised.

3. The footnote number followed by a period and a space.

4. The footnote number indented.

Is there a way to do this? I can't figure it out.

Thanks so much for your help. Once I get everything worked out on all this,
I'll post it to the wiki.

Best wishes,
Jack M. Lyon

Thanks for this. Will come handy.
