Images boxes

[marianoibaldi]

I have a block of figures generated with a div block and I want to put a box around it and fill the box with some colour. The final docs will be html and pdf.

Is there a way to do that?

No idea right know about doing it for PDF.
What's certain is that the two formats require two different solutions.

For HTML, it's as "simple" as adding a CSS attributes:

::: {style="border: 2px solid black;"}
some random text
:::

See https://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_boxmodel.asp and related HTML/CSS topics to improve/tweak it to your needs.

Thank you, @mcanouil!
For the PDF part, I tried to use mdframed and framed Tex packages, but did not work. I think that maybe it cannot be used outside a div block

There are many ways in LaTeX to add boxes, but way less trivial than as for HTML.
