hi,
I'm a new convert to ConTeXt from Latex, and i have setup an intermezzo.
As i am trying to link everything to my DocBook files, i want to be 
able to
move <quotes> over to ConTeXt and place them in an intermezzo and 
have the
intermezzo automatically size itself.
So far i have this:
\placeintermezzo
[right]{none}{
\framed
[height=3.8cm,
....
if you set the "align" and the height, then the width (when set to fit) 
will be automatically calculated.
it seems then, that the following should make a narrower box, but for me, 
it's full width, with lots of white space underneath??
%%start intermezzo test
\starttext
\placeintermezzo
[]{none}{
\framed
[
height=4.1cm,
width=fit,
align=right,
framecolor=gray,
offset=5pt,
]{\rbox{\quotation{...the gift is perhaps not strictly or simply one of 
foretelling, but is
rather the power of seeing (if only for a flash) \em{everything at
once}: seeing whole}
\\
--Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula LeGuin}}
}
\stoptext
%%end intermezzo test
- say \showframe
- remove the \rbox
