Description
-----------

These environments allow page breaks inside framed boxes.  They include
a few examples (shaded box, box with a wavy line on its side, etc.)

See also the
[`framed`](http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/sample_content.html)
package.

Usage
-----

In the preamble: 

    \usepackage{boites,boites_examples,graphicx}

Before using the various environments:

  `\bkcounttrue`:  the lines will be numbered

  `\bkcountfalse`: the lines will not be numbered

Boxed text with a title:

    \begin{boiteepaisseavecuntitre}
      ...
    \end{boiteepaisseavecuntitre}

Text with a double vertical line on the left and a number (17, in this
example):

    \begin{boitenumeroteeavecunedoublebarre}{17}
      ...
    \end{boitenumeroteeavecunedoublebarre}

Text with a wavy line on the left:

    \begin{boiteavecunelignequiondulesurlecote}
      ...
    \end{boiteavecunelignequiondulesurlecote}

Shaded box:

    \begin{boitecoloriee}
      ...
    \end{boitecoloriee}

If you wish other kinds of boxes, have a look at `boites_examples.sty`
and feel free to adapt the macros.

Features
--------

 * These environments may be nested.
 * They may appear in a multicols environment.

   them will be lost.
