ConTeXt: Frame a Sentence

How can I frame a single sentence in a paragraph when the sentence may wrap around to become several lines long? Just like color but to also provide background color, frame, styling, and so forth. The idea is to provide a formatting for inline code that unlike type ignores input whitespace.





  • color works fine but only sets the foreground color


  • framed doesn't wrap


  • type wraps but only sets the foreground color. Also unlike color doesn't ignore input whitespace.


  • start...stoptextbackground forces a new block even when used as left= and right= of setuptype.


  • framed doesn't actually wrap the input to type when used like:



    setuptype[command=mtc]
    define[1]mtc{%
    dontleavehmode{framed[frame=on,
    background=color,
    background-color=orange,
    ]{#1}}}
