Description
===========

The boxedminipage package is a very simple package that essentially
just wraps a minipage within an \fbox.  However, while
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}...\end{minipage}} juts out into the
margin, \begin{boxedminipage}...\end{boxedminipage} does not.
Instead, it subtracts the frame's dimensions from the specified
dimensions of the minipage before typesetting the minipage.


Installation
============

To install boxedminipage, run "latex boxedminipage.ins" to produce
boxedminipage.sty.  Move boxedminipage.sty into a directory searched
by LaTeX (e.g., .../texmf/tex/latex/boxedminipage/).

boxedminipage – Framed minipages of a specified total width (text and frame combined)

The package essentially just wraps a minipage within an \fbox. However, while \fbox{\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}...\end{minipage}} juts out into the margin, \begin{boxedminipage}...\end{boxedminipage} does not. Instead, it subtracts the frame’s dimensions from the specified dimensions of the minipage before typesetting the minipage.

Note: The package was formerly known as boxedminipage2e and now replaces Mario Wolczko’s earlier boxedminipage package.
