The environments “lose” footnotes, -marginpars and head-line entries, and will not work with -<i>multicol</i> or other column-balancing macros. The -<i>memoir</i> class includes the functionality of the -<i>framed</i> package. -<p/>The <i>boites</i> package provides a <code>breakbox</code> -environment; examples of its use may be found in the distribution, and -the package’s <i>README</i> file contains terse documentation. The -environments may be nested, and may appear inside -<code>multicols</code> environments; however, floats, footnotes and -marginpars will be lost. -<p/>For Plain TeX users, the facilities of the <i>backgrnd</i> -package may be useful; this package subverts the output routine to -provide vertical bars to mark text, and the macros are clearly marked -to show where coloured backgrounds may be introduced (this requires -<i>shade</i>, which is distributed as tex macros and -device-independent Metafont for the shading). The author of -<i>backgrnd</i> claims that the package works with LaTeX 2.09, but -there are reasons to suspect that it may be unstable working with -current LaTeX. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>backgrnd.tex</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/misc/backgrnd.tex">macros/generic/misc/backgrnd.tex</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/backgrnd.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>boites.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/boites.zip">macros/latex/contrib/boites</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/boites/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/boites.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>framed.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/framed.zip">macros/latex/contrib/framed</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/framed/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/framed.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>memoir.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.zip">macros/latex/contrib/memoir</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/memoir.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>shade.tex</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/shade.zip">macros/generic/shade</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/shade/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/shade.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=breakbox">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=breakbox</a> -</body> |
