Hello Willi,

Thanks for your answer.
Your suggestion works ... if I would be free to choose the framed text to be 0.5
textwidth. However, the framed text is source code and I do need the entire textwidth
because otherwise I'm going to get line wraps and that'll make things look ugly.
I expected  placefigure[right] to be clever enough to see that there is no room
beside the framed text, and either place the figure above it or beneath it.
My current workaround is to put the placefigure[right] macro earlier in the flow
of text if possible, or use placefigure[force].

Regards,

Jos

Hi,

use \framedtext[width=.5\textwidth]{...}. Framed text breaks over the 
lines. Do not use a \vbox
