Missing background color with \definetextbackground

Missing background color with \definetextbackground

[B. Tommy Jensen]

Hi,
I am strugglig to get the background color visible with the following code:

%----------------------------------------------------
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definetextbackground[highlight][backgroundcolor=yellow,
         frame=on,
         location=text,
         color=blue]
\starttext
\starttextbackground[highlight]
This text should have yellow background but it is white.
The text is however blue.
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext
%-------------------------------------------------

The background of the rendered text is always white, independent of the
backgroundcolor parameter. The font color is however OK (blue).
All other samples I have tried from "details.pdf"
behaves similarly - no background color and no frame/frame color.

I am using the latest complete standalone Windows version of Context.

Has anybody encountered a similar behaviour?

Best regards,
Tommy Jensen

Add background=color to \definetextbackground

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I have tried to add background=color as an option, but the result is  
exactly the same;
only the text gets colored; no frame and no background color appear.

Do you have other ideas?

Is metapost or MPtoPDF called, take a in your terminal, dou you have
the metafun format and do you use MkII (texexec ...) or MkIV (context ...).

Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction!

I was using the "texexec" utility. When I tried the same with the "context"
version, it rebuilt some formats and it now works exactly as expected.

Sorry for being a novice here; is it so that the "texexec" utility should
be consiered as obsolete?

Best regards,
Tommy Jensen

But MkII should work too. Try "texexec --make metafun --alone" and now
"texexec myfile".

Thanks - this also now works! The "context" utility built the format
automatically while I had to run the command manually with "texexec"
(So "context" seems to be smarter than "texexec").

My installation is the "complete windows environment" of context. I ran
the "fist_setup.bat" batch file after installation; this built many  
formats.
I don't know why the metafun format wasn't built - perhaps something
is missing from the setup file?

In any case - thanks a lot for the good advice.

Best regards,
Tommy Jensen
