Hi all,

In the course of a project I wanted to create a decorative border around a framed text. The border should be built from chosen glyphs which are placed along the border as pictures. For this purpose the textext macro is a good candidate. However I run into troubles. With help from Hans, a solution could be found. Hans, thank you so much! 

I have created a section on the wiki, where the problem is shown and the solution is given. In order to illustrate the whole thing I placed also a full example.

Kind regards 

Willi
