Mark,
I got it working pretty darn well with
@Floater
@OnePage { No }
@Location { Display }
@Format { @Box paint { lightgrey } @Body }
{
...
}
The sticking point seems to have been the @OnePage option,
which we both forgot about, but which is there in the guide.
Where I mentioned an @Enclose option before, I meant @Format.
The guide is a good source for fine-tuning @Format with stuff
like @HExpand and @CC, if needed.
Incidentally, it's my intention for Nonpareil that all
symbols, like @Box, that enclose documents should behave
this way by default, so that boxing a few words within
a paragraph will produce two boxes if the words break
across two lines etc. Font and underlining symbols
do it now in Lout but most other symbols don't.
