Hello Giuseppe,

Thanks! But (there's always a but :) ) it does not seem to work for
me.
I copied the files in the zip to my texmf-dir and copied xdesc.pm also
to my TexLive/bin/win32-dir.

In my tex-file I have :
\starttemplate[epigraph][normal]
  \setupframedtexts[frame=off, 
                    leftframe=on, 
                    rightframe=on, 
                    rulethickness=2pt,
                    framecolor=darkgreen,
                    backgroundcolor=lightgray,
                    align=right,
                    width=13cm]
  \startframedtext[right]
  {\ix
  {\sl \getslot{content}}
  \blank
  \rightaligned{--- \getslot{author} : {\sl \getslot{work}}}}
  \stopframedtext
\stoptemplate
\selecttemplate[epigraph][normal]

\epigraph[button][author={James Blish}, work={Cities in Flight}]
  {\language[en] He touched the button over his heart. Creation began}

Now pdfetex complains:

I found out that the modules that come bundled with ConTeXt are
referenced like so
use cont_set ;
So I thought xdesc.pm probably needs to be included in a similar way.
When I put a use xdesc; into texutil.pl it had no effect. When I put
it into texexec.pl, Perl complained :
Can't locate xdesc.pm in @INC (@INC contains: D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib .) at
 d:\TeXLive\bin\win32\texexec.pl line 39.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at d:\TeXLive\bin\win32\texexec.pl line 39.
I put xdesc.pm in D:/Perl/lib and had again the situation from the
beginning.
