I'm trying to modify the boxedminipage.sty style file so that I can get a
boxed minipage with a title on it, of the form:
--- Title --------------------------------------------------------
| text goes here ... blah blah blah |
------------------------------------------------------------------
What I've done is changed the initial \hrule\@height\fboxrule statement
that draws the top rule into an hbox containing three other hboxes:
\hbox{\hbox to 0.25in{\hrulefill}\hbox{Title}\hbox to \@brule{\hrulefill}}
where \@brule is the width of the title. This works fine, except that there
is now a small gap between where the top rule joins the two vertical rules.
I've tried several things, including \vskip-\lastskip but nothing seems to
work -- I always get the gap. Any clues as to what I should be doing?
BTW, this is the full code for boxedminipage.sty, in case others might
find it useful. I think I got if off of clarkson...
--------------------------- boxedminipage.sty ------------------------------
% boxedminipage.sty
%
% adds the boxedminipage environment---just like minipage, but has a
% box round it!
%
% The thickneess of the rules around the box is controlled by
% \fboxrule, and the distance between the rules and the edges of the
% inner box is governed by \fboxsep.
%
% This code is based on Lamport's minipage code.
%
% Fixed, 7 Jun 89 by Jerry Leichter
% Leave \fboxsep worth of separation at top and bottom, not just at
% the sides!
