Hi everyone,
i just joined the forum. I'm writing my PhD thesis and am going to use LaTex but am relatively new to it.. I found i could spend an enormous amount of time digging through the manual trying to find out how to do something when a smarter approach may be to ask the experts!!

i haven't searched the archives yet but i'll throw my latest question out there... I just want to enclose a numerical list (enumerate) in a Box!!I don't think i can do this with \framebox or \makebox, those only seem to work with text.. I thought perhaps \minipage but have not been successful yet...

Look forward to participating here..
Paul

Depending on your demands, something as simple as the following works (using framed package):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{framed}
\begin{document}
\begin{framed}
\begin{enumerate}
\item List item 1.
\item List item 2.
\end{enumerate}
\end{framed}
\end{document}

yikes... i'm embarrased how easy that was.. i guess i wasn't looking at info on the framed package...
Thanks for setting me straight..
Much Appreciated!
Paul
