({{, (RefLink[FrameBox, paclet:ref/FrameBox])[box]
is a low-level box construct that represents box with a frame drawn around it. }})

OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

(RefLink[FrameBox, paclet:ref/FrameBox]) is generated as the low-level representation of (RefLink[Framed, paclet:ref/Framed]). Except for low-level notebook expression manipulation, (RefLink[FrameBox, paclet:ref/FrameBox]) should not need to be used directly.

In (RefLink[StandardForm, paclet:ref/StandardForm]) and (RefLink[InputForm, paclet:ref/InputForm]), (RefLink[FrameBox, paclet:ref/FrameBox]) is by default ignored, so that (RefLink[FrameBox, paclet:ref/FrameBox])[box] is interpreted just as box would be.

In (RefLink[StandardForm, paclet:ref/StandardForm]), explicit (RefLink[FrameBox, paclet:ref/FrameBox]) objects are output literally. You can use (RefLink[DisplayForm, paclet:ref/DisplayForm]) to see the display form of such objects.

Display a framed expression:

FrameBox["abcd"]//DisplayForm

Display frames around multiple parts of a typeset structure:

FrameBox[SubscriptBox[FrameBox["x"],FrameBox["0"]]]//DisplayForm

You can use (RefLink[Framed, paclet:ref/Framed]) to produce the same structure:

Framed[Subscript[Framed[x],Framed[0]]]
