5.7. box Filter

Interface

The general syntax is:

  !block box[; parameters]
  ...
  !endblock

The parameters are:

Name	Type	Rule
align	string
listitem	integer
narrow	boolean
wide	boolean
lines	boolean
bgcolor	string
fill	integer

See Understanding Filter Interfaces, if necessary.

Description

The box filter is used to box a region of text. The lines parameter can be used to treat each line as a line within a paragraph - without this, the contents is treated as normal SDF.

The other parameters have the same meanings as they do for the table filter.

Limitations & Future Directions

Some of the output drivers (e.g. the MIF driver) do not support nested tables, so tables within the box may be ignored.
