Did you look into supp-fun.tex?
A matter of continuing interest is the sidebar, which can be placed in the outer margin, or flush left or right in a paragraph, or partly protruding into the outer margin. Usually these sidebars will have a gray background and often have a border. It appears that creating the sidebar separately as a pdf graphic and then importing and placing it would be the easiest way home. Context already has mechanisms for flowing or wrapping text around a graphic. How well the wraparound feature works when more than one short paragraph is involved I have not tested yet.
the mp based background mechanism can handle that: see plus-rul.tex (there is also another mechanism available which permits rather nasty variants but i still had no time to document it, so it's currently a hidden feature) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
