Evening all: Has anyone got a nicer \speechbubble definition up their sleeve? Here is not-nice one, so you know the floor: \define [1] \speechBubble {\blank \framed [width=.6\textwidth ,autowidth=force,align={flushleft}, background=color, backgroundcolor=darkblue, foreground=color, foregroundcolor=white, frame=off,corner=0,backgroundoffset=5pt,] {#1} ~~~ \tfd \startcolor[darkblue]{'} \stopcolor \tfa \blank} Called with things like: \speechBubble {They could be above or below the frequency we can hear, so called infra-sound or ultra-sound, or the amplitude could be just too small: so not enough power in the radiating pathway for the detector to respond.} I guess there are some people with xs metapost skills out there... But is there as simple way to get a nice curved pointer left or right from the bottom of that rounded rectangle frame?
