Text Formatting ⇒ Gray box around enumerate item ?

[Cham]

I would like to add a thin black frame, filled with a light gray color, all around the text in an enumerate environment. How ?

Here's a minimal working example to work with :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[total={6in,10in},left=1.5in,top=0.5in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor}
\definecolor{gray192}{RGB}{192,192,192}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
Some text here, about anything :
\medskip
	\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=0.5in,rightmargin=0.5in]
		\item More text, just to see what happens.  Bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.
	\end{enumerate}
\medskip
Bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla :
\medskip
	\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=0.5in,rightmargin=0.5in,resume]
		\item Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.
	\end{enumerate}
\medskip
Bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.
\end{document}

The box should be larger than the text inside it (including the item number), but smaller than the normal text above and under it. I have absolutely no clue about how to do this.

Ok, I've found the mdframed package which should do the trick. I'll have to play a lot with it, since there are lots of options.

I'm currently unable to display the footnotes, however .

EDIT : What are the other solutions ? I'm experiencing troubles with mdframed margins around enumerate environments and also with footnotes declared inside any mdframed environment.

Here's what I get, with the mdframed package. There are three problems :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[total={6in,10in},left=1.5in,top=0.5in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor}
\definecolor{gray230}{RGB}{230,230,230}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{mdframed}

\begin{document}

Some text here, about anything :
\medskip
	\begin{mdframed}[leftmargin=0.0in,rightmargin=0.0in,backgroundcolor=gray230]
	\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=0.5in,rightmargin=0.5in]
		\item More text, just to see what happens.  Bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla\footnote{Testing footnote, which isn't displayed at the proper place (bottom of page).}.
	\end{enumerate}
	\end{mdframed}
\medskip
	\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=0.5in,rightmargin=0.5in,resume]
		\item More text, just to see what happens.  Bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla\footnote{Testing footnote, this one is displayed.}.
	\end{enumerate}
Bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla :
\medskip
	\begin{mdframed}[backgroundcolor=gray230]
	\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=0.5in,rightmargin=0.5in,resume]
		\item Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.
	\end{enumerate}
	\end{mdframed}
\medskip
Bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.

\end{document}

As you can see after the compilation, the first footnote isn't displayed at the bottom of page. It should be placed at the bottom of the page, like the second footnote. On my computer, I don't even get the footnote at all (not even displayed inside the gray box). I'm using pdfLaTeX on OS X.

The enumerate item number appears to be broken. They should be updated for all three items (#1, 2 and 3).

Also, the first enumerate item should have exactly the same size (margins) as the second one (without a gray box around it).

How can I fix these ?

Any suggestions on the previous query? I'm still puzzled with this.
