Math Overruns Background

Math Overruns Background

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 636 bytes --]

Hello,

I'm trying to typeset an exam with solutions in framed or shaded boxes,
using \background. However, the background doesn't stretch to the bottom of
the text area when there is text preceding it, so if there is enough math
inside the background, the math overruns its lower bound. How can I get
everything to stay inside the background?

A minimal example:

\starttext

\input knuth

\startbackground

\input knuth

\dorecurse{20}{\startformula \sum_{i=0}^5 i \stopformula}

\stopbackground

\stoptext


I've tried some of the options in \setupbackground with no luck, and have
also tried Googling for an answer.


Thanks,

Nick

Try textbackground rather than background (untested).

 Textbackground does fix this, but introduces a different problem: the
topoffset is ignored on pages beyond the first. I was originally using
textbackground, but was trying to make background work instead specifically
because of this.

Thanks,
