the following background mechanism splits across pages, works over columns, can
be used nested, can be applied for very dirty tricks, etc
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\definetextbackground[more][state=start,backgroundcolor=red] % location=paragraph
\definetextbackground[test][state=start,backgroundcolor=green]
\page \placefigure[left]{}{}
\starttextbackground[test]
\readfile{ward}{}{}
\starttextbackground[more]
\readfile{ward}{}{}
\stoptextbackground
\readfile{ward}{}{}
\stoptextbackground
\page \placefigure[right]{}{}
\starttextbackground[test]
\readfile{ward}{}{}
\starttextbackground[more]
\readfile{ward}{}{}
\stoptextbackground
\readfile{ward}{}{}
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext
