Hi all,
I’m so so sorry for yet another message in this thread. I’ve solved it, but still don’t quite understand why it works. I post the solution here so that nobody has to spend any time crafting the solution. But I still have 1 key question.
Key question: Why does \setwhitespace[line] prevent \blank[-0.5em] from working after a \framed?
(Ok. I better sleep before I pollute the mailing list further.)
Apparent Solution:
\usecolors[xwi]
\setupwhitespace[line]
\starttext
\definetextbackground[secondary][
location=always,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=lightgray,
leftoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
frame=off,]
\input knuth
{
\blank[line]
\setupwhitespace[none]
\startnarrower
\dontleavehmode\framed[
width=local, corner=03, background=color, backgroundcolor=cyan,
frame=off
]{My header!}
\blank[-0.5em]
\startsecondary
{
\setupwhitespace[line]
\input knuth
}
\stopsecondary
\stopnarrower
}
\input knuth
\stoptext
