Hi Hans, there was a while ago a suggestion to make \framed a horizontal command by adding \dontleavehmode, it is clear this is not a good idea to make this the default behavior but can't you add a option
mode=horizontal|vertical where 'mode=vertical' is the normal \framed behaviour and 'mode=horizontal' goes perform \dontleavehmode to go into horizontal mode. It would be also useful to have a 'direction' key where the setup \framed[direction=RTT]{...} behaves like \starttext \vbox dir RTT{\hsize\textheight\dorecurse{200}{a b c d e f }} \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
