Hi all
I've had a go at creating a module. Even though I don't know what I'm doing, I
seem to have got something that nearly works. The purpose of the module is to
create a GUI way of applying grey boxes around text (making use of the
"framed" pacakge).
Two question: First, is it possible to have a nested environment via the GUI?
That is, I want to being to select a region with the mouse, and then select
"greyed" from the pull-down menu. Unfortunately, the way it works now means
that other environments, such as section titles, are subsumed by the greyed
environment.
Secondly, is there a way of reflecting the grey background on screen. This is
probably an easy one for a .layout expert.
The module is attached but it's a hack and probably not suitable for use by
others, although it does work apart from the above problems.
