Details about changing the rendering of the PDF are documented here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Configuration#HCustomizingthePDFexportLook26Feel
In your case to change the background color the easiest solution is probably to attach a file named "pdf.css" to the page XWiki.DefaultSkin with the contents: .box { background-color: #CCCCCC; } or whatever color you would like to have in print. I have to admit that I could not get a border around the box with a similar CSS declaration; also I could not fix the indentation of the text around the block; actually it should not be indented ... Adding a separate p { text-indent:0; } to the pdf.css fixes that, but I am not sure if this does not has other side effects hope it helps anyway Clemens > Hi, > > i use the macro "code" to highlight code blocks in the text.
