Some time back (maybe three years ago) Hans showed me a way to
create a sidebar, with optional background and hanging out half
way into the margin. Now I would like to encapsulate the commands
into a simple \start \stop sequence. But I don't know how to do
it.
Hans started off with some definitions:
\setupfloat
[intermezzo]
[leftmargindistance=-\outercombitotal,
rightmargindistance=-\outercombitotal,
default={outer,high}]
\setupcaption[intermezzo][location=none]
\defineframedtext
[myohmy]
[width=6cm,bodyfont=small,
frame=off,
backgroundcorner=round,
backgroundradius=16pt,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.7]
Then he called these two definitions with a sequence like:
(some text)
\placeintermezzo{}{\startmyohmy\input dawkins \relax\stopmyohmy}
(some text)
What I would like to do is boil down the last mentioned command
sequence into
\startsidebar
(some text)
\stopsidebar
But I am stumped by the task. If there were a \startintermezzo
and \stopintermezzo pairing then the task would be simpler.
