Subject: Descriptions/enumerations with a background
Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 11:52:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <MFEFJNAPONLOLJPIHFBIOENJDGAA.dh@capdm.com> (raw)
Hello all,
I have been trying to set up an enumeration to have a background screen.
Having completely failed, I ended up putting a \startbackground ...
\stopbackground pair inside the \startsubactivity ... \stopsubactivity, but
this does strange things with page breaks, presumbly because it is
interfering with the glue between the enumeration title and the body of it.
Can anyone help me with a \defineenumeration or \setupenumeration parameter
that will make the background go grey? Here's what I have up top:
\defineenumeration[activity]
[text=Activity,
before={\blank[2*big]},
after={\blank[2*big]}]
\setupenumerations[activity]
[headstyle=\ss\tfa]
\setupbackground
[background=screen,
corner=round,
offset=6pt]
Here's what I currently do, which doesn't work well:
\startsubactivity
\startbackground
This text sometimes jumps over a page break even when there is lots of space
on the page.
It can have more than one paragraph in it.
\stopbackground
\stopsubactivity
And here's what I'd like to do:
\startsubactivity
This text behaves well and has a grey box behind it.
It can have more than one paragraph in it too.
\stopsubactivity
Any pointers as to what to put at the top to make the bottom happen would be
gratefully received.
Thanks,
Duncan
