An intermezzo (as far as I can tell) is a framed paragraph that interrupts the normal text, usually highlighting an important idea from within that text. I have often seen the technique used in magazines, where they use intermezzos in large type or in colour to break up a long article. (In a short article it would make no sense.) I have also seen intermezzos used in textbooks as a means of adding some interesting information.
