[NTG-context] background color problem

[NTG-context] background color problem

[Manfred Lotz]

I try to create some text with background color.
The following code snippet doesn't work however.
___________________________________________
\definecolor [darkgreen] [r=.0, g=.5, b=.0]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

\startbackground
\setupbackgrounds
  [text][text]
  [background=color,
   backgroundcolor=darkgreen,
   backgroundoffset=1.25mm]

Background color should be darkgreen
\stopbackground

\stoptext
___________________________________________

I know that the problem might be sitting in front of the monitor. So, 
where am I wrong?

Manfred

This defines an "overlay" that is placed under the whole text area.
Thus, IMO, not the thing you want get.

As far as i understand details.pdf (following is untested) it
should work with:

\definetextbackground[TextBG]
	[backgroundcolor=darkgreen,
	 backgroundoffset=.25cm,
	 offset=.5cm,
	 frame=off,
	 location=paragraph,
	 color=white]

\starttextbackground[TextBG]
Some Text.
\stoptextbackground

Thanks for the info.
You are right. definetextbackground seems more to be what I'm looking for.

Where do I find documentation about it? I didn't find a details.pdf.
