I tried some things but the two frames will not come out on one line. How to do this?
\placesidebyside (context manual p.228) should work. A \hbox is another option, but maybe too unhandy for this.
Greetings, Peter
No, that will not work. After much probing I found the culprit. The framedtext takes the full linewidth and apparently does not reduces it to the given size. Therefore enclosing in a vbox seems necessary: \vbox{\hsize=framesize\startframedtext{width=framesize ... Question for Hans Hagen: is it an option letting framedtext set the hsize when a specific width is given? yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer
