Two \framed texts, one below the other

Two \framed texts, one below the other

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all!

When I say

\framed{a}
\framed{b}

there is some space between frames.  How can I turn it off?

I want to say something like

\framed[bottomframe=off]{top left \hss top right}
\framed[topframe=off]{center}

to get

+----------------------------------------------+
|top left                             top right|
|                                              |
|                    center                    |
|                                              |
|                                              |
+----------------------------------------------+

Is there a better way to do something like this?

Regards

  \starttext
\offinterlineskip
\framed[bottomframe=off,width=5in]{top left \hfill top right}
\framed[topframe=off,width=5in]{center}
\stoptext

Depending on your actual use case, layers or a table may be more
suited than \framed.

Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks!  Of course, \nointerlineskip between two \framed commands works,
too.

OK, so now I have a question: what am I doing wrong?

\starttext

\definelayer[lyr][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight,preset=lefttop]
\defineoverlay[ovl][lyr][overlay]
\framed[width=10cm,height=4cm,background=ovl]{Framed text}

\stoptext

I want to have something like this:

+-----------------------+
|overlay                |
|      Framed text      |
|                       |
+-----------------------+

People can be divided into 10 groups: those who like the binary system
and those who don't.

This works :

\starttext

\definelayer[lyr][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]
\defineoverlay[ovl][{\directsetup{lyr}\tightlayer[lyr]}]

\startsetups lyr
\setlayer[lyr][preset=lefttop]{left top}
\setlayer[lyr][preset=righttop]{right top}
\stopsetups

\framed[width=10cm,height=4cm,background=ovl]{Framed text}

\stoptext

* It is important to have the \setlayer commands as part of
the overlay definition (hence \directsetup) because otherwise
\overlaywidth and \overlayheight have the wrong values.

Best wishes,
Taco
