Hi,
Is there a simple way to split a large \startframedtext environment over
multiple pages. It doesn't work out of the box and I didn't find any
option make it work in the wiki nor in the documentation I read.
Thanks.

Use backgrounds or textbackgrounds.

Thank you but I still can't achieve what I want to do whith this
command.
I try to make something similar to the frames in the
"mkiv-publications.pdf" manual (page 6 or 22 for a bibliography for
examples).
I suppose Hans Hagen made use of metafun to do it but I encounter some
problems with 'textbackgrounds'.
In this minimal example, the frame doesn't appear (or if i set
[frame=on,leftframe=off] all the frame is rendered) and the left and
right offsets are not took into account.
% test-bcknd.tex
\usebtxdataset[biblio.bib]
\setupbtxrendering
[before={\startbiblio},
after={\stopbiblio}]
% Arri�re-plan biblio
\definetextbackground[biblio]
[location=paragraph,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=green,
%backgroundoffset=2em,
leftoffset=1em,
rightoffset=1em,
topoffset=1.5em,
bottomoffset=1em,
frame=off,
leftframe=on,
rulethickness=.1em,
framecolor=red]
\startdocument
\startchapter[title=A chapter]
\input knuth \cite[knuth]\blank
\input ward \cite[ward]\blank
\placelistofpublications[criterium=chapter]
\stopchapter
\stopdocument
% end
% biblio.bib
@book{knuth,
title = "Title",
author = "Knuth",
publisher = "Publisher",
year = "2019",
}
@book{ward,
title = "Title",
author = "Ward",
publisher = "Publisher",
year = "2019",
}
% end
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

textbackground uses metapost for ALL backgrounds and the default metapost
code to draw the background (draw_multi_pars, defined in mp-abck.mkiv)
doesn't handle individual frames. So, you have to write your own metapost
code to draw the side bar.
Another option for simple backgrounds is to use `\definebackground`
instead of `definetextbackground`. The background mechanism doesn't have
too many options, but does honor leftframe and rightframe by default.

You can look under
doc/context/sources/general/manuals/publications/publications-style.tex
to see how it is done.

All these source files where here, next to me, all this time and I didn't

It will take some time to understand everything in "mp-abck.mpiv" but it
will sure be very interesting.
Thank you.
