Hi list,
I'm attempting to make a stylized border around paragraphs that can span

the title for the text doesn't always appear. Instead, there's a small gap
along the top border where the title should be.
Am I going about this the wrong way?

If I change the following line:

to:

Then the title "some string" is repeated. It seems like the value for
\MPstring{concurrent} is being cached in some situations and ignored in
others.
Essentially, I'm trying to visually offset multiple paragraphs using a
left-hand vertical rule along with a top horizontal rule that has a title.
Each new "concurrent" section needs its own header that doesn't repeat.
Is there a ConTeXt-way to accomplish this feat?
There's always a way out but not always a pretty one.
One problem is that these graphics are done later, when a page gets
assembled, so you get the current value at that time. Then there is
grouping so you need to assign global. Now, there can be caching but
you use expanded string so that's not the issue.
% draw image ( draw rawtextext(legend) notcached) ;
That is seldom needed. So below is a solution. When you cross pages with
a frame you need to make sure the text is done once. I let you figure
that out (after all you came this far so i guess you know). For historic
reasons (mkii / performance) it's not the easiest mechanism.
% We store each one independent:
\newinteger\ConcurrentTextSetCounter
\newinteger\ConcurrentTextGetCounter
\protected\def\ConcurrentTextSet#1%
{\global\advance\ConcurrentTextSetCounter\plusone
\setxvariable

\def\ConcurrentTextGet % we want full expansion here
{\localcontrolled{\global\advance\ConcurrentTextGetCounter\plusone}%
\getvariable
{concurrent}
{text:\the\ConcurrentTextGetCounter}}
% We also use the helpers (so at least we can see what we do):
\startuseMPgraphic{GraphicConcurrent}{text} % % {mpos:region:draw}
% draw_multi_pars ;
string legend ; legend := "\ConcurrentTextGet";
show legend;
