I am redoing a book originally done in InDesign and the prior typesetter took delight in using every trick in the book. I can match all of them in context except one. He creates little sidebars and sometimes he leans them to the left by a few degrees. Here is an example of one such sidebar. How do I cause it to lean to the left about 3 degrees? -------------------------------------- \starttext \setupframed[background=screen,framecorner=rectangular,backgroundscreen=0.70] \placeintermezzo[right,none]{} \startframedtext[width=3in] \centerline {\bf RECIPE FOR SUCCESS} ------------------------------------------------ \noindent \input knuth.tex \stopframedtext \input knuth.tex \input knuth.tex \input knuth.tex \stoptext ------------------------------ I know I am supposed to use \rotate but I can't figure out how to rotate an intermezzo.

Hi John, Maybe playing with something like what follows will help: %%%%%%%%%%%% begin tilted-framed.tex \starttext \placeintermezzo[right,none]{} \rotate[rotation=-10]{\startframedtext[width=3in] \midaligned{\bf RECIPE FOR SUCCESS} ------------------------------------------------\par \noindent \input knuth.tex \stopframedtext} \input knuth.tex \input knuth.tex \input knuth.tex \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% end tilted-framed.tex Best regards: OK
