Page-breakable framed text

Page-breakable framed text

[Mike Aizatsky]

Hi!

Is there a way to produce a page-breakable framed
text?  I've already spent several hours on this and
still can't find the solution. Or, may be there's a
better way to achieve the effect, shown in the sample?

Sample:

% interface=en output=pdftex

\defineframedtext[procedure][frame=off, leftframe=on,
rulethickness=.4mm]

\def\StartProcedure{\startnarrower[2*left]
\startprocedure \startitemize[n]}
\def\StopProcedure{\stopitemize \stopprocedure
\stopnarrower}

\def\Step{\item}

\starttext

\dorecurse{20}{Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. }

\StartProcedure
\dorecurse{10}{
\Step\dorecurse{20}{Some Text.}
}
\StopProcedure

\dorecurse{20}{Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. }

\stoptext

areas ... since you didn't mention it before i assume that it has a low 
priority -)

I didn't mention it before because it was only recently
discovered by a poster on it.comp.software.tex; I'm not sure if
it happens always or only when the background doesn't span
pages.
