- There is a lovely little macro on page 95 of Seroul and Levy's book - A
- Beginner's Book of TeX. I would like to use it to draw a box around two lines
- of normal text which has the usual // at the end of the first line.
- Unfortunately, LaTeX burps -- gets lost and thinks there is a missing \item.
-
- It seems that the style SHADOW at SHSU does the same thing. I have also had
- zero luck in using \fbox$some text//And some more text.
-
- Obviously, I still do not understand how to package things inside boxes which
- can be put into these macros. I hope someone can help set me straight!
-
- Thanks
