5.7. box Filter

| Name | Type | Rule |

| 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.
