Re: [NTG-context] slanting an intermezzo.

Hi John,

Maybe playing with something like what follows will help:

 begin tilted-framed.tex
\starttext
\placeintermezzo[right,none]{}
\rotate[rotation=-10]{\startframedtext[width=3in]
\midaligned{\bf RECIPE FOR SUCCESS}
\par
\noindent
\input knuth.tex
\stopframedtext}

\input knuth.tex
\input knuth.tex
\input knuth.tex

\stoptext
 end tilted-framed.tex

Best regards: OK

 I know I am supposed to use \rotate but I can't
 figure out how to rotate an intermezzo.
 
 Please help!

[NTG-context] slanting an intermezzo.

[John Culleton]

I am redoing a book originally done in InDesign
and the prior typesetter took delight in using
every trick in the book. I can match all of them
 in context except one. He creates little sidebars
 and sometimes he leans them to the left by a few
degrees. Here is an example of one such sidebar.
How do I cause it to lean to the left about 3
degrees?
