# Hypertext Help with LaTeX
\framebox

## Normal use

`\framebox[width][position]{text}`

The `\framebox` command is exactly the same as the `\makebox` command, except that it puts a frame around the outside of the box that it creates.

The framebox command produces a rule of thickness `\fboxrule,` and leaves a space `\fboxsep` between the rule and the contents of the box.

The `\framebox` command is fragile.

## In picture environment

`\framebox(width,height)[position]{...}`

The `\framebox` command is exactly the same as the `\makebox` command, except that it puts a frame around the outside of the box that it creates.
