Dear all,
my problem with framed text persists in paragraphs: The frame extends
over the entire page as soon as the
paragraph has more than one line. Problem exists in mkii and mkiv.
Minimal example below.
Thanks,
Matthias
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupcolor[rgb]
\definetextbackground [defbackground]
[backgroundcolor=lightgray,
background=color,
frame=on,
location=paragraph]
\defineparagraphs [TwoThird][n=2]
\setupparagraphs [TwoThird]
[1]
[width=.66\textwidth]
\starttext
\startTwoThird
\starttextbackground[defbackground]
The frame is too wide.
The frame is too wide.
The frame is too wide.
\stoptextbackground
%
\nextTwoThird
\placefigure
[here]
[figure:cow]
{Mooh}
{\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\textwidth]}
\stopTwoThird
\stoptext

I have seen this before when trying to use textbacground to highlight
stuff in tables. I don't know a solution, but if want to highlight whole
paragrah, and do not want the ability to split across pages, you can use
framed texts.
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupcolor[rgb]
\defineframedtext
[defbackground]
[backgroundcolor=lightgray,
background=color,
width=broad,
frame=on,
location=paragraph]
\defineparagraphs
[TwoThird][n=2]
\setupparagraphs
[TwoThird]
[1]
[width=.66\textwidth]
\starttext
\startTwoThird
\startdefbackground
The frame is too wide.

\stopdefbackground
%
\nextTwoThird
\placefigure
[here]
[figure:cow]
{Mooh}
{\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\textwidth]}
\stopTwoThird
\stoptext

Thanks Aditya,
that is what I need. I don't really understand the difference between
framedtext and textbackground, but all my framing and coloring
desires seem to be realizable with framedtext.

framedtext is the older mechanism, with some limitations but pure tex
textbackground is more advanced using metapost; it can nest backgrounds,
have inline backgrounds, etc
