\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. Wolfgang
