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
Regards
Jon
