Thank you a lot. I didn't know the location=middle option (yupi, no
need for \vcenter any more :).
Without align=, \framed behaves pretty much like a \hbox. So once I
unsuccessfully tried \crlf and \\ inside \framed a couple of times, I
gave up, forgetting about some nice examples in the manual.
But how do I get rid of the blank line in this example:
\framed
[align=flushleft]
{\typefile{tufte.tex}}
Thank you,
Mojca
