slanting an intermezzo.

slanting an intermezzo.

[John Culleton]

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.

Please help!

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
