It doesn't work out of the box and I didn't find any option make it work in the wiki nor in the documentation I read.

Thank you but I still can't achieve what I want to do whith this command. I try to make something similar to the frames in the "mkiv-publications.pdf" manual (page 6 or 22 for a bibliography for examples). I suppose Hans Hagen made use of metafun to do it but I encounter some problems with 'textbackgrounds'. In this minimal example, the frame doesn't appear (or if i set [frame=on,leftframe=off] all the frame is rendered) and the left and right offsets are not took into account. % test-bcknd.tex \usebtxdataset[biblio.bib] \setupbtxrendering [before={\startbiblio}, after={\stopbiblio}] % Arri�re-plan biblio \definetextbackground[biblio] [location=paragraph, background=color, backgroundcolor=green, %backgroundoffset=2em, leftoffset=1em, rightoffset=1em, topoffset=1.5em, bottomoffset=1em, frame=off, leftframe=on, rulethickness=.1em, framecolor=red] \startdocument \startchapter[title=A chapter] \input knuth \cite[knuth]\blank \input ward \cite[ward]\blank \placelistofpublications[criterium=chapter] \stopchapter \stopdocument % end % biblio.bib @book{knuth, title = "Title", author = "Knuth", publisher = "Publisher", year = "2019", } @book{ward, title = "Title", author = "Ward", publisher = "Publisher", year = "2019", } % end Any suggestions?

So, you have to write your own metapost code to draw the side bar. Another option for simple backgrounds is to use `\definebackground` instead of `definetextbackground`. The background mechanism doesn't have too many options, but does honor leftframe and rightframe by default.

It will take some time to understand everything in "mp-abck.mpiv" but it will sure be very interesting.
