AHA! I fiddled a bit to correct justification, and to get rid of the frame. Forced hyphenation could have corrected things without so much tolerance. ------------------------------------------------- \setupcolors[state=start] \tolerance=1000 \frenchspacing \starttext \framed[corner=round,background=color,backgroundcolor=red]{HELLO} \framed[corner=round,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.6]{HELLO} \setupfloat [intermezzo] [leftmargindistance=-\outercombitotal, rightmargindistance=-\outercombitotal, default=outer,high] \setupcaption[intermezzo][location=none] \defineframedtext [myohmy] [width=7cm,bodyfont=small, frame=off, backgroundcorner=round, backgroundradius=16pt,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.7] %\showframe \input ward \placeintermezzo{}{\startmyohmy \frenchspacing\tolerance=7000\input dawkins \relax\stopmyohmy} \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par} \stoptext -------------------------------------- The only defect I can spot, and this is really a nit-pick, are the short lines in the main body text just above and just below the intermezzo/sidebar.
