I installed the 2009-01-18 yesterday at home on my mac. Everything works fine! Now I re-reinstalled the 2009-01-18 on the windows machine at work, and I get the same result as before: no gray background. I even did the texexec --make metafun --standalone from Wolfgang, but still no background. I noticed that on the win system the filename-mpgraph.4000 etc. and -mpgraph.keep files don't appear at all; they do appear of course with 2008-10-31. Appearently these are holding the code for the background. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Thomas Finally I've found the problem. In the cont-sys files from 2009-01-18 the following two lines are enabled: \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue (in 2008-10-31 they are still outcommented) But to make this work on windows a few additional steps were necessary: 1. texexec --make --alone metafun (as Wolfgang already mentioned) 2. copy the new metafun.mem from \Documents and Settings\username\.texlive2008\texmf-var\web2c\ to the 'normal' texmf directory (\texlive\2008\texmf-var\web2c\metapost). 3. Enable write18 in the texmf.cnf 4. remake the formats Greetings Thomas ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___ ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Textbackground seems more appropriate, so I tried

This works for me.

For me this works only with context 2008-10-31.
It doesn't work with the beta from 2008-01-18 (no background).

Can you try texexec --make metafun --standalone.

MkII.
I just reinstalled the october version; everything ok.
btw: It seems that it still worked fine with a context-beta from 2008-12-01.

Re: [NTG-context] backgrounds: help needed
I am still a bit confused about textbackgrounds. So I created a wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TextBackground (in order to try to confuse others!) I have two questions: 1. The live conTeXt of the wiki does not show the background, whereas the code works using the context minimals. Why? 2. Setting background=screen as opposed to background=color,backgroundcolor=middlegray doesn't work (live minimals). Why? Can anyone help here? Beyond details.pdf, I have not found many explanations.

Re: [NTG-context] backgrounds: help needed
I, too, do not understand the
\definetextbackground
\starttextbackground
\stoptextbackground
commands, even though I tried looking at details.pdf (and core-pgr.tex).
My particular problem is rather classic, that of illustrating examples, set off
from the main text.
I first used
\defineframedtext [example]
[width=fit,background=screen,backgroundscreen=0.7]
\startexample
...
\stopexample
and this is appropriate if the example is short enough to fit on one page.
However, a long example (many paragraphs) that spans more than one page
runs off the bottom.
Textbackground seems more appropriate, so I tried
\definetextbackground [example]
[location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=middlegray,frame=off]
\definestartstop [example]
[before={\starttextbackground[example]},after=\stoptextbackground]
but this does not work. I tried other variants (such as adding state=start,
...) with no success.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to look for further documentation or
examples of use?
Thanks.
