Hi again,

there’s also the background mechanism which has been explicitly
(see pack-rul.mkiv) designed with page breaks in mind. Example:

···8<····························································

\setupbackground[
  corner=rectangular,
  frame=on,
  background=,
]


\starttext
\startbackground
  \dorecurse{42}{\input dawkins \endgraf}
\stopbackground
\stoptext

···8<····························································

Hth, Philipp
