I want a gray background in a particular column.
Here is some pertinent code (copied from details.pdf)
\definetextbackground[bar]
[backgroundcolor=textgray,
backgroundoffset=.25cm,
offset=.5cm,
frame=off,
location=paragraph,
color=black]
...and here is where I want the background:
\column
\starttextbackground[bar]
This is column three text with background and all kinds of
other stuff.
\stoptextbackground
...and here is the compile error:

(mpgraph.mp

<to be read again>
;
l.23 spotcolors := true ;
---------------------------------------------
If I use \startbackground(etc) in the same spot
I get no error but I don't like the quality.
Hints?

(1) use the sectioning commands, so \definehead[myhead][subsubsection] \setuphead[myhead][style=bold] instead of \def\myhead#1{{\bf#1}} since the sectioning commands will keep successive heads together as well discourage a pagebreak after a head; only lower level heads are kept together, while sam elevel heads may break (makes sense) (2) this game is spoiled when the head is followed by a command like \blank; a way out can be: \setuphead[myhead][after={\blank[big]\blank[inhibit]}] another option is: \setuphead[myhead][before={\testpage[4]}] which will break if there are less than 4 lines left Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 30+ messages in thread

But this should not result in the error messages you get. But still I am a bit clueless. Your log files look ok to me.

Let us first try a simple background, then we go to columnsets: % output=pdf \mainlanguage[de] \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[wichtig] [backgroundcolor=lightgray, location=paragraph, frame=off, backgroundoffset=5pt, ] \starttext \starttextbackground[wichtig] \input tufte \stoptextbackground \stoptext Or a somewhat more complicated one: % output=pdf \mainlanguage[de] \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[wichtig][] \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset} for i := 1 upto nofmultipars : linear_shade(multipars[i] enlarged 5pt cornered 20pt,1, \MPcolor{middlegreen},\MPcolor{lightgreen}); endfor ; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \starttextbackground[wichtig] \input tufte \stoptextbackground \stoptext Do they come out right? > ### simple group (level 1) entered at line 23 ({) > ### bottom level [...] > \stoptextbackground \stopcolumnset > \page[new] > \stoptext Patrick ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 30+ messages in thread
