Framedtext width

Framedtext width

[nico]

Hello,

Is there a way (magical option) to have the framedtext width adapt to the  
environment width where it is put?

I've tried width=broad, but it always uses the page \textwidth, even if  
the framedtext is in an item or something like this. There is the same  
behaviour for background too.

An example:

\setuplayout[middle]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\defineframedtext[mybox]
   [width=broad,
    frame=on,
    before=\blank,
    after=\blank]

\starttext

Here is an example:

\startitemize[n]
\item
\input tufte

\startmybox
Some text in the box
\stopmybox

\input tufte
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Regards,
BG

Thanks, It works fine for framedtext! Unfortunately it doesn't help with  
background. Another option?

The same case with background instead of framedtext:

\setuplayout[middle]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\setupbackground
   [background=screen,
    frame=on,
    strut=yes,
    width=local,
    before=\blank,
    after=\blank]

\starttext

Here is an example:

\startitemize[n]
\item
\input tufte

\startbackground
Some backgrounded text
\stopbackground

\input tufte
\stopitemize

BG

Again, use textbackground. The following honors the present width


\setuplayout[middle]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definetextbackground[screen]
    [backgrond=screen,
     frame=on,
     strut=yes,
     width=local,
     location=paragraph]

\starttext
   Here is an example,

\startitemize[n]
   \item \input tufte
    \startscreen
      Some background test
    \stopscreen
\stopitemize

\stoptext

well, this is what 'local' is for:

\defineframedtext[mybox] [width=local,..]

here we can use a keyword but when no such option is present one can say: 

\setlocalhsize \hsize\localhsize 

as in: 

\start \setlocalhsize \hsize\localhsize whatever content \par \stop
