Description

Define an overlay. The first argument provides the name, the second argument the contents.

The overlay is always centered; if you need something else, you must find a suitable construction.

Example

• \setupcolors[state=start]
  
  \defineoverlay[tea][{\green\ss\bf GREEN TEA}]
  
  \framed[
      background=tea, 
      align={middle,hilo},
      width=.25tw,
  ]{
      \em today
      \blank[2*big]
      for sale
  }
