you can use textbackgrounds and plug in some mp code that extends into the
margins ... it depends a bit on what 'line' means here
\startuniqueMPgraphic{whatever}
fill OverlayBox
leftenlarged BackSpace
rightenlarged CutSpace
withcolor OverlayColor ;
setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox
enlarged max(BackSpace,CutSpace) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[whatever][\uniqueMPgraphic{whatever}]
\framed
[background=whatever,
backgroundcolor=green,
frame=off,
width=\textwidth]
{test}%
Thank you for this interesting solution! I didn’t know one could do
that with Metapost. This does exactly what I want.
