Use backgrounds or textbackgrounds.
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.
textbackground uses metapost for ALL backgrounds and the default metapost
code to draw the background (draw_multi_pars, defined in mp-abck.mkiv)
doesn't handle individual frames. So, you have to write your own metapost
code to draw the side bar.
Another option for simple backgrounds is to use `\definebackground`
instead of `definetextbackground`. The background mechanism doesn't have
too many options, but does honor leftframe and rightframe by default.
