Re: [NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

2019-08-21 Thread Jon Wong

Hi all,

I’m so so sorry for yet another message in this thread. I’ve solved it, but 
still don’t quite understand why it works. I post the solution here so that 
nobody has to spend any time crafting the solution. But I still have 1 key 
question.

Key question: Why does \setwhitespace[line] prevent \blank[-0.5em] from working 
after a \framed?

(Ok. I better sleep before I pollute the mailing list further.)

Apparent Solution:

\usecolors[xwi]
\setupwhitespace[line]

\starttext
\definetextbackground[secondary][
  location=always,
  background=color,
  backgroundcolor=lightgray,
  leftoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  frame=off,]

\input knuth

{

\blank[line]

\setupwhitespace[none]

\startnarrower
  \dontleavehmode\framed[
width=local, corner=03, background=color, backgroundcolor=cyan,
frame=off
  ]{My header!}

  \blank[-0.5em]

  \startsecondary
  {

  \setupwhitespace[line]

\input knuth

  }
  \stopsecondary
\stopnarrower

}

\input knuth
\stoptext

Hi all,

Ok, last message in this topic, I promise. I’ve crafted a MWE.

If I \setupwhitespace[line], the \blank[-0.5em] stops working. I’m sure I need 
to revise my TeX notes. For now, can somebody give me a little encouragement 
and tell me the answer? :-P

\usecolors[xwi]
% \setupwhitespace[line]

\starttext
\definetextbackground[secondary][
  location=always,
  background=color,
  backgroundcolor=lightgray,
  leftoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  frame=off,]

\input knuth

\startnarrower
  \dontleavehmode\framed[
width=local, corner=03, background=color, backgroundcolor=cyan,
frame=off
  ]{My header!}

  \blank[-0.5em]

  \startsecondary
\input knuth
  \stopsecondary
\stopnarrower

\input knuth
\stoptext

2019-08-21 Thread Jon Wong

Hi all,

Ah, found the solution in TextBackground. At here: 
https://www.contextgarden.net/TextBackground 


Can I have a 2-segment (2 vboxes) TextBackground (presumably with 2 
TextBackgrounds, zero vspace between them)?

For the top segment, I want rounded corners only for top corners (corner=03 
with \framed).

Seems I really should dig into MetaFun and TextBackground. Looks really fun and 
useful.

Sorry for the noise. Am a little carried away exploring the Garden. :-P

Jon

Re: [NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

2019-08-21 Thread Jon Wong

Hi all,

Sorry, my solution didn’t work.

My purpose of using \startnarrower is to have some paragraphs of text inside 
the \framed. Unfortunately, it seems \framed doesn’t take paragraphs.

\startframedtext doesn’t have as many border options as \framed.

Should I use overlays? Or layers? It seems layers require absolutely 
positioning, and can’t be logically contained inside a \startnarrower?

Regards
Jon

[NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

2019-08-21 Thread Jon Wong

Hi all,

I want to have a \startnarrower effect. But I also want that segment to have a 
border (hopefully a gradient background color too!).

I tried:

\startnarrower
  \framed{testing}

  Seems framed doesn’t observe startnarrower commands.
\endnarrower

How do I achieve that?

Jon
