to use pull quotes, I need to use the dimensions of the different
elements to be typeset, before typesetting, in order to adapt the shapes
of the flow accordingly.
So here is just a basic code to
1/ get the dimensions of an item A that will be typeset, before it is
actually typeset
2/ use
That is progress, Garulfo, and real progress! I'm sorry I have not been
any help to you in achieving this... a bit beyond my skill set. But I
have long regarded this particular 'feature' to be a quite important
'missing' feature of ConTeXt, since I occasionally get requests from
authors as to
some progress... if it can help.
No more issue with nonsymetrical behavior, and \framed are properly
aligned with the grid.

Hi all,
hope you are all doing well.
I am still trying to display pull quote between two columns.
lmt_parshape is really helpfull.
I need to add a 1pt gap to make the left column behave correctly,
but the right column remains shifted one line below the intended one.
Question1: any clue ?
