Hello,

I use textbackgrounds to set-off paragraphs,
for example, here as secondary material.
It does not float and, indeed, may flow over many pages.

This is a concrete example (to which you could add line numbering):

\definetextbackground [secondary]
	[location=paragraph,
	background=color,backgroundscreen=middlegray,
	leftoffset=0.5cm,rightoffset=0.5cm,
	topoffset=.25ex,bottomoffset=.25ex,
	before={\blank[small]\switchtobodyfont[script]},
	after={\blank[small]},
	frame=off]
\kindofpagetextareas3 % fix from Hans
% Indeed, there are several internal methods available
% for managing text areas. Without this fix, the background
% color bleeds over footnotes and floats external to the
% secondary material.

\startsecondary
Here is some less interesting detailed stuff that can be skipped
if you wish…
\stopsecondary
