Description

Comment

The first parameter sets the main layout area, the second one specifies the linked subarea(s) of the prior. Not all main areas have such subareas.

Note that backgrounds may not be rendered correctly if \showframe is used.

Example

[text] has several linked subareas.

\setupbackgrounds[text] [background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\setupbackgrounds[text] [leftmargin] [background=color,backgroundcolor=red]

sets a light gray background for the text area and a red background for the left margin area.
