Framed text split over multiple pages

Framed text split over multiple pages

[Romain Diss]

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
know... Thank you very much!

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

Thank you.
