Hi all,
The documented way to use \fbox is like this:
\fbox{this is my text}
I'd like to do something like this:
\begin{fbox}this is my text\end{fbox}
However, doing that draws a tiny box around the first character. Anyone
know a way to turn \fbox into an environment, or an environment equivalent
for \fbox, or a way to put a border around a minipage?
Thanks

Hi all,
I found the answer in the Fancybox documentation (fancybox.doc). Search for
the string:
since the former doesn't
Look above and below that string. Here's their solution:
\newenvironment{fminipage}%
{\begin{Sbox}\begin{minipage}}%
{\end{minipage}\end{Sbox}\fbox{\TheSbox}}
\begin{document}
\begin{fminipage}{2in}
Since the former doesn't use braces to delimit
the contents of the box, $\ldots$
\end{fminipage}
Pretty cool, huh?

\fbox is a command and not an enviroment. Use LyX's box feature instead to get what you want. See
the EmbeddedObjectas manual for reference.
