I was going to put some text on a triangle, and was wondering how to do
it.

given a triangle with three points (p1, p2, p3) I can get a normal by
using a cross product of (p2-p1) and (p3-p1).
Now that I have that, I can't figure out how to use it to rotate my text
so it is on the plane defined by the three points.  

(I can position the text once I have the rotation - I was going to
translate it to  (p1+p2+p3)/3 which puts it in the middle of the
triangle.)

Any help?
