Text Formatting ⇒ Framed box spanning to 2 pages

[yiorgosb]

I would like to make a framed box
(a box surrounded by lines)
to include my "examples".

The problem is that I would like, if the text is long,
to span to the next page keeping the lines surrounded.
I've tried using a minipage inside a framebox but it doesn't span.
Is there any package to make so?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

the framed package provides framed environments that can break across pages. mdframed is further developed.

Thank you, mdframed is exactly what I need.

However, as also mentioned at documentation,
multicolumn environment is not yet supported.

So the question now is, if there's an alternative way
for creating a 2-column text (package or latex primitive)
without using the multicolumn.
