Text Formatting ⇒ Vertical line around text

[yiorgosb]

I've created an "example" environment for my examples.
I need to enclose the text inside the example with a vertical line.
Obviously the \vline command won't work.
What's the optimal way to achieve this?

I want to avoid using minipage or multicol since I use the wrapfig inside the example environment and as you most probably know these packages are incompatible to each other.

How can a (single) vertical line enclose something? Please give at least a visual help of what you are after or submit a minimal example with what you have done so far. Both would be best.

You are right. The term enclose is not appropriate.
I mean a result like the one produced by the following code

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{|c}
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text \\
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's  \\
when an unknown printer specimen book. \\
\end{tabular} 

which is just for demonstration of what I want to do.

The framed package is probably what you are looking for.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \blindtext
  \begin{leftbar}
    \blindtext
  \end{leftbar}
  \blindtext
\end{document}
