width of definetextbackground

width of definetextbackground

[Armin Varmaz]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 591 bytes --]

Hallo,

 

I am wondering if there is an option in \definetextbackground to get the
output over the entire width of a page? I mean to go over the width of the
\textwidth (for example like
\setlayout[width=\textwidth+\outermargintotal])?  

 

I played with \setuplayout before calling textbackground, but it did not
work perfectly since the layout of the text after \definetextbackground was
changed as well; \setuplayout[reset] before stopping the textbackground did
not help. 

 

I read the solutions proposed by Aditya but they did not help. Have you any
ideas how to get it?

 

Armin

\paperwidth

Hi Hans, hi guys,

thanks for your answer, but, at least in my ConTeXt installation, it  
does not affect the width of the textbackground (see example 1).

I also tried other approaches to set the width of a textbackground  
being larger than the actual text width. So far I solved it using  
\startnarrower.

However when a page break happens within the textbackground ConTeXt  
does not set it properly. The dimensions of the defined textbackground  
are correct. however you will see the color of the background only at  
the first page but not after the page break. below an example (example  
2).

Similar happens when I have double sided pages.

do you have an idea how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Armin


********** EXAMPLE 1

\definetextbackground[zhu]
        [location=paragraph,
         background=color,backgroundcolor=orange,
         %frame=off,topframe=on,
         leftoffset=0.5\bodyfontsize,rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
         topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
         before={\startnarrower[left,right]},
         after={\stopnarrower},
         width=\paperwidth,
         frame=off]

\starttext

\dorecurse{1}{\input knuth\endgraf}
\startzhu
\dorecurse{2}{\input bryson\endgraf}
\stopzhu

\dorecurse{1}{\input knuth\endgraf}

\stoptext


*********** EXAMPLE 2


\setupnarrower[right=-1.0cm,left=-1.0cm]
\definetextbackground[zhu]
        [location=paragraph,
         background=color,backgroundcolor=orange,
         leftoffset=0.5\bodyfontsize,rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
         topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
         before={\startnarrower[left,right]},
         after={\stopnarrower},
         frame=off]

\startsetups important:start
	\starttextbackground[zhu]
\stopsetups

\startsetups important:stop
     \endgraf
     \stoptextbackground
\stopsetups

\definestartstop
	[important]
   	[before=\setups{important:start},
    	after=\setups{important:stop}]

\starttext

\dorecurse{1}{\input knuth\endgraf}
\startimportant
\dorecurse{2}{\input bryson\endgraf}
\stopimportant

\dorecurse{1}{\input knuth\endgraf}

\startimportant
\dorecurse{3}{\input bryson\endgraf}
\stopimportant
\dorecurse{1}{\input knuth\endgraf}

think a bit about side effects

Re: width of definetextbackground

[varmaz]

Hi again,

is there another approach (I didn't find an appropriate one in the  
documentations) to define a text block with a width larger than the  
actual text width? such a text block should be able to go over several  
page and be able to handle left and right pages (that is at the right  
page I want 2cm more for the right side and at left pages I want 2 cm  
more for the left side)?

I appreciate any hint where to look for.

Armin
