All,

I've come across this in the Metafun manual:

\setupframedtexts
[FunnyText]
[backgroundcolor=lightgray,
framecolor=darkred,
rulethickness=2pt,
offset=\bodyfontsize,
before={\blank[big,medium]},
after={\blank[big]},
width=\textwidth]


But I am wondering how to use it to set up a big "Copyright" in the
background?

Not really an answer to your question, but I know about this possibility:

\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright}
  draw btex \bf COPYRIGHT etex rotated 60 withcolor .8white;
  currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlaywidth-0.5cm);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[copyright][\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=copyright]

\starttext
\input tufte
\stoptext

Thanks to Tobias Burnus for this code!

Cheers, Peter

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=embargo]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\defineoverlay[embargo][{\lightgray\scale[factor=max]{\rotate[rotation=45]{EMBARGO}}}]

\starttext \input tufte \stoptext

\| and \proclaim not defined?

[Otared Kavian]

Hi all Contexters,

I have noticed that the commands \| (that is {\delimiter  "26B30D{}} 
and \proclaim are not defined anymore in ConTeXt, while they are part 
of plain TeX commands.
(It is however true that even though  $\|u\|$ does not work in 
ConTeXt, the command $\Vert u \Vert$ does).

Hans, is it on purpose?

Thanks for your attention.
Best regards: OK

Hi Hans,

Thank you very much for your attention.
In my (humble) opinion, I think that a patch like

\let\|=\Vert

would be enough for the {\delimiter  "26B30D{}}.

As for \proclaim, it is defined in the TeXBook, but unfortunately I 
don't have it with me right now so I can't send you the patch 
immediately. I hope to be able to do it before Wednsday.

Best regards: OK
