Subject: slanting an intermezzo.
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 17:36:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150325173639.3976cdd5@localb.wexfordpress.net> (raw)
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!
