hi, I'm a new convert to ConTeXt from Latex, and i have setup an intermezzo. As i am trying to link everything to my DocBook files, i want to be able to move <quotes> over to ConTeXt and place them in an intermezzo and have the intermezzo automatically size itself.

So far i have this: \placeintermezzo [right]{none}{ \framed [height=3.8cm, ....

if you set the "align" and the height, then the width (when set to fit) will be automatically calculated.

it seems then, that the following should make a narrower box, but for me, it's full width, with lots of white space underneath?? %%start intermezzo test \starttext \placeintermezzo []{none}{ \framed [ height=4.1cm, width=fit, align=right, framecolor=gray, offset=5pt, ]{\rbox{\quotation{...the gift is perhaps not strictly or simply one of foretelling, but is rather the power of seeing (if only for a flash) \em{everything at once}: seeing whole} \\ --Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula LeGuin}} } \stoptext %%end intermezzo test thanks, mark
