Text in a box now broken
Hey folks, I noticed as of maybe a week ago, that all of the text I have positioned inside of a box has disappeared. I can see everything else, as before, but not the stuff in the box. The box just shows up as a mangled line. The following is a minimal example from ConTeXt version 2011.11.17 09:18. This code was working just fine a few days ago. \definestartstop [TimelineDocument] [before={ \crlf \setupbackground[frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, leftoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm, bottomoffset=0.5cm] \startbackground }, after={ \stopbackground \crlf }, commands={\setupalign[yes]}, style=italic] \starttext \startTimelineDocument Some stuff in a box. \stopTimelineDocument \stoptext Thanks a lot. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

This is tested and works on my machine: \definebackground [TimelineDocumentFrame] [frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm] \definestartstop [TimelineDocument] [before=\startTimelineDocumentFrame, after=\stopTimelineDocumentFrame, style=italic] \starttext \startTimelineDocument Some stuff in a box. \stopTimelineDocument \stoptext Wolfgang

Thanks Wolfgang. You're always very helpful. Any idea why my version stopped working or why it is not a good approach? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Hey Wolfgang. One other thing. Your \definebackground and \defomestartstop works fine in the minimal example you gave, but if I take it into my environment of my existing project and replace my old \definestartstop with that, I still have the same problem of the mangled box with no visible text in it. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Hey Wolfgang. I just retested your minimal and realized that while it does work, only for the first box. Try this and you'll see what I mean: \definebackground [TimelineDocumentFrame] [frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm] \definestartstop [TimelineDocument] [before=\startTimelineDocumentFrame, after=\stopTimelineDocumentFrame, style=italic] \starttext \startTimelineDocument Some stuff in a box. \stopTimelineDocument \startTimelineDocument Some more stuff in a box. \stopTimelineDocument \stoptext -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Thanks Hans. I thought something was amiss and figured it was a bug, since it was working fine until a recent new version of ConTeXt. Hopefully the PPA I am drawing ConTeXt from pulls the fixed version some time soon. Was the fix committed to mainline? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

if you consider beta to be mainline, yes (but not yet uploaded) (it was a side effect of mkiv-ing the code .. keep in mind that these backgrounds are somewhat old .. textbackgrounds are an alternative) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Understood. Do you have a more appropriate version of what I was trying to do using textbackgounds instead? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

it depends .. if you have small boxes, you as well use a regular framedtext (with background) or when you span pages you can use textbackgrounds ... the backgrounds you use is some compromise Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, I am using boxes that sometimes span multiple pages. This is what I was using originally. How would it look if it used textbackgrounds? \definestartstop [TimelineDocument] [before={ \crlf \setupbackground[frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, leftoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm, bottomoffset=0.5cm] \startbackground }, after={ \stopbackground \crlf }, commands={\setupalign[yes]}, style=italic] \starttext \startTimelineDocument Some stuff in a box. \stopTimelineDocument \stoptext -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Thanks, but I still don't know what was wrong with the old method. In any case, I am experimenting now with textbackground. Thanks again for your help. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
