+and @code{leftbar}, which places a line at the left side.  The environments
+allow a break at their start (the @code{\\FrameCommand} enables creation of a
+title that is “attached” to the environment); breaks are also allowed in the
+course of the framed/shaded matter.  There is also a command
+@code{\\MakeFramed} to make your own framed-style environments.")
