Hans and list,
Previous to the 20140316 beta, we were able to prevent text backgrounds
from bleeding over the footnote space with
\chardef\kindofpagetextareas\plusone
as you described in a 2008 list entry. While the problem it resolves is
still there, the fix is now broken. The background on the following page
is starts too far down the page (although it appears to have the proper
depth).
The following example demonstrates the problem. Sorry for its length.
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\definetextbackground[blockquotebackground]
[
location=paragraph,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=gray,
backgroundoffset=.25em,
frame=off,
]
\definedelimitedtext[BlockQuote]
\setupdelimitedtext
[BlockQuote]
[
leftmargin=1pc,
rightmargin=1pc,
before={%
\blank[halfline]%
\startblockquotebackground%
\setupindenting[next]%
},
after={%
\stopblockquotebackground%
\blank[halfline]%
},
]
\starttexdefinition startAttribution
\setupnarrower[left=1pc]
\startnarrower[left]
\leavevmode\llap{{--\,}}%
