Problem with framed text.

Problem with framed text.

[John Culleton]

In several palces I want to set up framed text
with a gray background and rounded corners. Here
is my \setupframed description:

\setupframed[
framecorner=round,
frameradius=0.1,
background=screen,
backgroundscreen=0.70,
backgroundcorner=round,
backgroundradius=0.1,
corner=round,
radius=0.1
]
--------------------
And here is my first framed text:
--------------------------
\startframedtext[middle] 
\centerline{A Vision Example}
 \QQ{[In the year 20xx], our
company is internationally recognized as the
premier supplier of [your food products]. We
regularly exceed customer expectations by
providing innovative and valuable [your food
products] .} 
\stopframedtext
------------------------------------
The hangup seems to be the rounded corners. 
I am using texlive 2014. 

BTW the macro QQ is my shorthand for \quotation
which is much to long IMO. But I am American and
use double quotes a lot.
\def\QQ#1{\quotation{#1}}
That is not the problem. Everything works until
I try to use rounded corners. The customer had
them on the last edition of the book, probably
done with MSWord (!) 

All answers appreciated.

There should be a comma after 0.1.

It is helpful if you post a complete MWE.

With respect, I don't think so. Commas separate
parameters. the last "0.1" is properly followed
by a "]".

Hi John,

this should work:

\setupframed[framecorner=round,
frameradius=0.1em,
background=screen,
backgroundscreen=0.70,
backgroundcorner=round,
backgroundradius=0.1em,
corner=round,
radius=0.1em]

Radius, framedradius and backgroundradius expect dimensions as values,
not mere numbers.

BTW, having a sample that shows the problem increases the reply speed :-).

I hope it helps,


Pablo

In which case you need to use
	radius=0.1]
(no newline)

You had the cure.

I built a sample and then played with the em
value. Lacking precise guidance I thought that
the value was one of those 0 to 1 ranges. Not so.
setting at 1.0 em gives me what I was looking
for.  The setting 0.1 em gave me rounding that was
imperceptible without magnification. 

Here is my successful sample:
-------------------------------------
\setupframed[framecorner=round,
frameradius=1em,
background=screen,
backgroundscreen=0.70,
backgroundcorner=round,
backgroundradius=1em,
corner=round,
radius1em]
\starttext
Some text.
\startframedtext[middle] 
\centerline{A Vision Example}
 In the year 20xx, our
company is internationally recognized as the premier supplier of
your food products. We regularly exceed customer expectations
by providing innovative and valuable your food products.
\stopframedtext
Some more text
\stoptext

Use \setupframedtext to change the layout of \startframedtext.

> [framecorner=round,
> frameradius=1em,

The “frameradius” setting can be omitted because you set “radius”.

> background=screen,
> backgroundscreen=0.70,
> backgroundcorner=round,
> backgroundradius=1em,

The “backgroundcorner” and “backgroundradius” settings can be omitted as well because you set “corner” and “radius”.

> corner=round,
> radius1em]

Missing “=” between “radius” and “1em”.

I put commands like the one under discussion in a
separate file called "macros.tex" which is hte
first file called in my standard "book.tex"
top level file.
For some reason it didn't work. So I copied it to
just before my first text frame in the
'chapter01.tex' file. Then it worked for that
frame and subsequent instances.

Here is my book.tex file as used in my current
project:

\input variables.tex
\input macros.tex
\input fonts.tex
\starttext
%\showlayout
\startfrontmatter
\input half.tex
\input title.tex
\input contents.tex
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
%\input sample3.tex
\input body.tex
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext

I will add more calls later for acknowledgements,
appendices etc. all in separate subfiles.
\body.tex is a subfile that calls the individual 
chapter subsubfiles.

Variables.tex contains the definitions of title,
subtitle, author, publisher, ISBN etc.
