I'm trying to learn `context`, and I'm satisfied with their capacities.
I read in contextgarden
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupbackgrounds> that options of
`\setupbackgrounds` inherit from `\setupframed`, but if I setup
`toffset=5mm` for `\setupbackgrounds[text][text][frame=on,toffset=5mm]` I
have no effect?
With `frameoffset` you can modify the four directions but how about a
single direction?
Code
\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuppagenumbering[state=none]
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][frame=on,toffset=5mm]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext

The background mechanism for the text areas supports only a fraction of
the normal framed options but you can do a lot when you use Metapost to
draw the background.
\startuniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}
path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight ;
draw p topenlarged 5mm ;
setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[TextBackground][\uniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuppagenumbering[state=none]
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=TextBackground]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
BTW: It’s rude to crosspost without mentioning this
