[NTG-context] \placeinitial or texbackground bug (interference)

2012-03-18 Thread Alan Braslau
It took me quite a while to hunt this down... The use of a text background breaks \placeinitial. I do not have a patch, but at least can provide a minimal example: \definetextbackground [SetOff] [location=paragraph] \starttext \placeinitial \input tufte \startSetOff \input ward \stopSetOff

2012-03-16 Thread Alan Braslau
