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

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?
Thank you.
