These boxes may also be removed, even if they +have been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since +boxes may be open on any side, boxes can also be used to +create regional comments in any programming language. With +the help of an editor macro or mapping, damaged boxes can +easily be repaired. + +This is useful for making the function headers in your +programming language look better, for spicing up your news +postings and emails, or just for decorating your documentation +files. + +New box designs of all sorts can easily be added and shared +by appending to a free format configuration file. boxes was +intended to be used with the vim(1) text editor, but can be +tied to any text editor which supports filters. |
