\define[2]\epigraph
{\blank
\startframedtext[middle][frame=off,offset=none,width=fit,align=middle]% \color[darkgreen]{#2}\endgraf \rightaligned{\it #1}% \stopframedtext \blank}
I want to do something like: \epigraph{Elbert Hubbard}{ Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage,
but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal.}
Because I want to have the but on the second line, with the rest of the text. But this gives: Runaway argument?
With the definition of \define in MkII the argument of the command can’t contain a paragraph, a workaround is to define the \epigraph macro with
\long\def\epigraph#1#2{...}
or to use MkIV.
My workaround works, but I should upgrade to MkIV, then I would have more clear code. I have looked at the upgrade to MkIV, but it seemed much work. I'll try to make time for it in the weekend. -- Cecil Westerhof
