Ok, I start to see the picture: one must use MetaPost. I can
accept that :) (even if it's somewhat clumsier, but this is no
problem, one can write interfaces for that).
The problem is still that I cannot separate the behaviour at the
end of the background from the behaviour at a split. What I'm
looking for is something like this:
/-------------------------------\
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
---- (page split) --------------
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
\-------------------------------/
Instead, what I get is this:
/-------------------------------\
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
\-------------------------------/
---- (page split) --------------
/-------------------------------\
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text |
\-------------------------------/
Can the first effect be achieved?
