Questions tagged [framed]
{framed} is about framed document elements, e.g., boxes and environments. Basic commands for framed elements are \fbox and \framebox. The color packages {xcolor} and {color} extend these with \fcolorbox. Popular packages for framing larger areas and in a more flexible form are {tcolorbox}, {mdframed} and {framed}. If you use such a package, you should also use the corresponding tag.
