stupbackgrounds and margin

stupbackgrounds and margin

[Antoine Junod]

Hello, list!

I'm struggling to try to do something that seems simple but I'm not
able to succeed. I would like to have the left margin of my document
painted in red (or another color, I don't mind right now).

Here is what I have:

\setuppapersize[A5][A4]
\setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided]
\setuplayout[margin=18mm,
             width=middle,height=middle,
             topspace=0cm,backspace=18mm]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[text]
                 [leftmargin] [background=color,backgroundcolor=red]

But it makes as if I had no leftmargin. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help,
A+
-AJ

Make a complete (with text) example where we can see your problem
(a example of the output could help), I get a red background for
the left margin.

Here it is. And the output (processed with texexec --lua) is attached.

Thanks for everything.

\showframe overwrites the \setupbackgrounds settings, comment it and
you can see it.
