Abbreviation:  ã|\pbã%
 
Parameters:    ã|textã%
 
    ã|Description:ã%
Whole  paragraphs can  be put  into a  \drawbox if  you  use \vbox  with the
\drawbox.  The resulting box  will extend into the left and right margins by
the sum of the \drawboxmat  and \drawboxrulesize.  If you use \paragraphbox{
| . .  } instead of \drawbox{\vbox{ . . .  }}, the paragraph size is reduced  |
such that the box will fit within the current margins.
 
    ã|Example:ã%
This illustrates the difference between a paragraph boxed with \paragraphbox
and \drawbox.
 
  \paragraphbox{{\it The Journal of Nonrepeating
  Results} is published by the Center for Unpleasant
 
  Phenomena, at Palouse, Washington. The copyrights for
  articles are assigned to and held by the authors.}
  \drawbox{\vbox{The Center for Unpleasant Phenomena
  is the research arm of Giga Geologicals, Inc. No apologies
  are tendered for the nonverifiability of experiments.
  The opinions of the authors do not reflect company policy.}}
