startnarrower and framed?

startnarrower and framed?

[Jon Wong]

Hi all,

I want to have a \startnarrower effect. But I also want that segment to have a border (hopefully a gradient background color too!).

I tried:

\startnarrower
  \framed{testing}

  Seems framed doesn’t observe startnarrower commands.
\endnarrower

How do I achieve that?

Regards
Jon

Seems framed doesn’t observe startnarrower commands.

\startnarrower
     \dontleavehmode \framed{testing}

     Seems framed doesn’t observe startnarrower commands.

     \startlinecorrection
         \dontleavehmode \framed{testing}
     \stoplinecorrection
\stopnarrower

\stoptext

for gradients, see metafun and example sin test suite

Hi all,

I got some progress!

\setupnarrower[left=2cm, right=2cm] % what does middle do, actually?
\startnarrower
  \dontleavehmode\framed[width=local]{testing}

  Since this works for left offset: \framed[width=local]{testing}
\endnarrower

So, how do I do a gradient background? Yeah, I know I have to dive into MetaPost and MetaFun some time. Is that where the solution is?

Regards
Jon

Hi all,

Sorry, my solution didn’t work.

My purpose of using \startnarrower is to have some paragraphs of text inside the \framed. Unfortunately, it seems \framed doesn’t take paragraphs.

\startframedtext doesn’t have as many border options as \framed.

Should I use overlays? Or layers? It seems layers require absolutely positioning, and can’t be logically contained inside a \startnarrower?

Regards
Jon

Hi all,

Ah, found the solution in TextBackground. At here: https://www.contextgarden.net/TextBackground <https://www.contextgarden.net/TextBackground>

Can I have a 2-segment (2 vboxes) TextBackground (presumably with 2 TextBackgrounds, zero vspace between them)?

For the top segment, I want rounded corners only for top corners (corner=03 with \framed).

Seems I really should dig into MetaFun and TextBackground. Looks really fun and useful.

Sorry for the noise. Am a little carried away exploring the Garden. :-P

Regards
Jon

Hi all,

Ok, last message in this topic, I promise. I’ve crafted a MWE.

If I \setupwhitespace[line], the \blank[-0.5em] stops working. I’m sure I need to revise my TeX notes. For now, can somebody give me a little encouragement and tell me the answer? :-P

\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

\startnarrower
  \dontleavehmode\framed[
    width=local, corner=03, background=color, backgroundcolor=cyan,
    frame=off
  ]{My header!}

  \blank[-0.5em]

  \startsecondary
    \input knuth
  \stopsecondary
\stopnarrower

\input knuth
\stoptext

Regards
Jon

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
