Hi all,
I want to have a \startnarrower effect. But I also want that segment to have a border (hopefully a gradient background color too!).
I tried:
\startnarrower
\framed{testing}
Seems framed doesn’t observe startnarrower commands.
\endnarrower
How do I achieve that?
Regards
Jon

My purpose of using \startnarrower is to have some paragraphs of text inside the \framed. Unfortunately, it seems \framed doesn’t take paragraphs. \startframedtext doesn’t have as many border options as \framed. Should I use overlays? Or layers? It seems layers require absolutely positioning, and can’t be logically contained inside a \startnarrower?

I’ve solved it, but still don’t quite understand why it works. I post the solution here so that nobody has to spend any time crafting the solution. But I still have 1 key question.
