Colored rule using MPgraphic

Colored rule using MPgraphic

[Jan Willem Flamma]

Dear list members,

I’m trying to make certain text standout from the surrounding text by adding a colored rule to the side.
See below MWE.

The colored rule is not shown over the area where the picture is displaced. Does anybody know how can I fix this?

Kind regards,
Jan Willem


\definetextbackground
    [Example]
    [mp=background:rule,location=paragraph,
    rulethickness=3pt,framecolor=red,
    leftoffset=1em,rightoffset=1em,
    toptoffset=1em,bottomoffset=1em,
    before={\testpage[3]\blank[3*big]},
    after={\blank[3*big]}]

\startuseMPgraphic{background:rule}
    linecap := butt;
    begingroup;
        for i=1 upto nofmultipars :
            draw (ulcorner multipars[i]--llcorner multipars[i]) 
            withcolor \MPvar{linecolor} withpen pencircle scaled \MPvar{linewidth} ;
        endfor ;
    endgroup;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPlibrary[dum]

\starttext

\startExample
{\bf Example - Title\hfill{Subtitle}} \blank

\placefigure
	[force,none][]{}
    {\externalfigure[dum][width=0.3\textwidth]}

\input knuth

\stopExample

\stoptext
