Hi, I want to typeset an "excurses" description that is marked with a leftframe. The problem is that it spans about multiple pages and has footnotes.
Here is an MWE:
```
%% -> mwe-framedtext.pdf
\defineframedtext[excursusbg][
frame=off,
leftframe=on,
rulethickness=1mm,
framecolor=blue,
toffset=0mm, % there is an offset anyways
]
%% -> mwe-textbackground.pdf
% \definetextbackground[excursusbg] [
% location=text,
% background=color,
% backgroundcolor=lightblue,
% frame=on,
% loffset=10cm, % seems to have no impact
% ]
\definedescription[excursus][
text={Excursus:\ },
alternative=top,
headstyle=bold,
margin=1cm,
width=broad,
before={\startexcursusbg},
after={\stopexcursusbg},
]
\starttext
\input ward
\startexcursus[title={A Knuth extract}]
\input knuth
\stopexcursus
\input ward
\startexcursus[title={A much longer Knuth extract}]
\input knuth
Sometimes, sentences have footnotes\footnote{Some footnote}.
\input knuth
\input knuth
\stopexcursus
\stoptext
```
See the attached PDFs for the different results.
In principal, I would like the excurses typesetted like to solution with
\defineframedtext. However, this does not work with pagebreaks.
Additionally, the leftframe is too long (it begins above the "Excursus" text).
I tried toffset to let the leftframe begin exactly at the "Excurses" text
without success.
The solution with \textbackground looks somewhat promising. It supports
pagebreaks, but draws above footnotes and prints a small rectangle at the end
of the excursus. I also didn't found a way to specify a leftframe only.
Also, loffset seems to have no effect, here.
Do I use the false environments? Do you know a better solution?
