Re: Pull quote between two column - trial

to use pull quotes, I need to use the dimensions of the different 
elements to be typeset, before typesetting, in order to adapt the shapes 
of the flow accordingly.

So here is just a basic code to
1/ get the dimensions of an item A that will be typeset, before it is 
actually typeset
2/ use these dimensions to define a item B that should be typeset before 
item 1
3/ typeset of item B and finally item A


It is a quick and dirty solution.

Please, could you help me to have a more elegant solution

1/ to replace

          "width=\measure{FTitleW},"

     by something more direct like

          "width=\GetDim{myframes}{FTitle}


2/ to replace

    context("\\definemeasure[#2W][" .. (n.width /65536)  .. "pt]")

    by a more "luametatexish" formulation
