My new environment

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I decided to put a short statement at the beginning of each chapter. I wanted 
it to be surrounded by lines, a little bit narrower than general text, and I 
wanted the print slightly bigger than normal. Here's how I did it:


Preamble
\newenvironment{chapterintroL}[0]{
        ~\\[20pt]
        \addtolength{\textwidth}{-0.2\textwidth}
        \setlength{\parindent}{0.1\textwidth}
        \indent
        \begin{Sbox}\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}{}%
        \setlength{\parskip}{1.6\baselineskip}%
        \leftskip 10pt\rightskip 10pt\large ~\\[0.4\baselineskip]%
}{
        \\[0.05\baselineskip]~\end{minipage}\end{Sbox}\fbox{\TheSbox}\\[20pt]
}
EndPreamble
