Hi Wolfgang,
Thanx for the pointer I have downloaded.
As I do not no how framed is actually implemented, I am not sure it will help much.
One of the reason I used LaTeX, then XeLaTeX, then LuaLaTeX, and now ConTeXt is
because I do not grock TeX.
I realized by "misusing" the framed environment and metafun I could achieve what I need
without a lot of calculations. I already have a similar module for LuaLaTeX using TikZ, but
I can get more milage levagering framed.
Right, now I working out the visual representation and will develop and interface so that
that the user does not need to worry about finer parts of the context syntax.
regards
Keith.
