Hi Everybody, I am trying to develop a module for writing Nassi-Schneidermann-Diagrams. I thought I would use framed and metafun. But, I have run into, for me at least, strange behaviour. I have given MWE and attach the result and a second file which is required. What I do not understand is why the first line after \MyBoxit is "indented" (see source and result below). The second is why when I nest \MyBoxit do I get extra vertical space? Yes, I have found a work around, as I was preparing this mail. Notice, the use of location! What I would want is to leave "location=top" in the setup. Thanx for any help. regards Keith.

I suggest to read chapter 8 in Einführung in TeX [1], a german book about plain TeX because basic knowledge about boxes can help a lot in your case. [1] http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/www-rz/schwanbs/TeX/ Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
Thanx for the pointer I have downloaded.
As I do not no how framed is actually implemented, I am not sure it will help much.
One of the reason I used LaTeX, then XeLaTeX, then LuaLaTeX, and now ConTeXt is
because I do not grock TeX.
I realized by "misusing" the framed environment and metafun I could achieve what I need
without a lot of calculations. I already have a similar module for LuaLaTeX using TikZ, but
I can get more milage levagering framed.
Right, now I working out the visual representation and will develop and interface so that
that the user does not need to worry about finer parts of the context syntax.
regards
Keith.
