How to achieve specific results
Preventing hyphenation
One can prevent hypenation inside a frame by passing nothypenated
option to align
. It is also a good idea to add verytolerant
and strectch
options.
\startcombination[2*1] {\framed [width=5cm, align={flushleft}] {\input ward \endgraf}} {flushleft} {\framed [width=5cm, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] % maybe also stretch {\input ward \endgraf}} {flushleft,\crlf nothypenated, \crlf verytolerant} \stopcombination
Specify the width no longer than needed
I want to specify the maximum width of a frame. If the size of the
box is smaller than the maximum width, I want a tight box. This can be done using the autowidth=force
option to framed.
\defineframed [tightframed][width=5cm,autowidth=force,align=middle] \tightframed{Small} \tightframed{A really really long line that is split at 5cm}
Rounded Corners
\framed allows you to have round corners with corner=round
. There are also other possibilities if you want round corners but not at all places by giving an appropriate number to corner=...
. This example is taken from core-rul.tex and each frame is typeset using
\framed[corner=....,frame=on]{...}
