The box is half the width of the text, and I would the text to flow around it while placing the ...

Following up on this project.
I have solved my issues concerning my texlive install... and the font... And have finally managed to create a tcolobox that I like...

After that I ran

sudo tlmgr init-usertree

and got:

Basically I ran the installer: And then set the PATH-thingy:

Hi,
here is what I am trying to do. I want parts of my document to be "separated" (for lack of a better word) from the rest of the text. Think of a history book that has original letters or speeches from the time in a separate box. Not actually part of the text but providing additional detail or ...
