framedmarginsshading
I am using \begin{shaded} from \usepackage{framed}.
The problem is I am using it for examples which come inside \begin{itemize}, the shaded box's margin does not begin with the \item margin instead the shaded color begins from far left.
I would like to have it like the below image –
The syntax is \myFloat[optArgs left]{text left}[optArgs right]{text right}{caption}{label} the last two can be empty.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}% only for demo
\usepackage{xcolor,mdframed,caption}
\makeatletter
\def\myFLoat{\@ifnextchar[{\myFloat@i}{\myFloat@i[]}}
\def\myFloat@i[#1]#2{\@ifnextchar[%
{\myFloat@ii[#1]{#2}}%
{\myFloat@ii[#1]{#2}[]}}
\def\myFloat@ii[#1]#2[#3]#4#5#6{\par\medskip%
% \mdfsetup{innerleftmargin=10pt,innerrightmargin=10pt}%
\noindent\begin{minipage}[t]{0.475\textwidth}\leavevmode
\begin{mdframed}[#1]#2\end{mdframed}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.475\textwidth}\leavevmode
\begin{mdframed}[#3]#4\end{mdframed}
\end{minipage}
\ifx\relax#5\relax\else\captionof{figure}{#5}\fi%
\ifx\relax#6\relax\else\label{#6}\fi\par}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\blindtext
\myFLoat[linecolor=blue,linewidth=2pt,backgroundcolor=yellow]{\blindtext}%
[linecolor=red,linewidth=3pt]{\blindtext}%
{my caption for this float}{myLabel}
as seen in my Figure~\ref{myLabel} it works.
\blindtext
\myFLoat[linecolor=blue,linewidth=2pt,backgroundcolor=yellow]{\blindtext}%
[linecolor=red,linewidth=3pt]{\begin{align}y=\int\limits_1^2 f(x)dx\end{align}}%
{my caption for this float}{myLabelB}
\end{document}
I would recommend that you use the mdframed package instead (as it will work across page breaks), and use the resume* option with lists via the enumitem package:
As @MarcoDaniel suggested, a better looking solution is to use the frametitle option with mdframed.
\newenvironment{Question}[1]{
\begin{mdframed}[
frametitle={#1},
frametitlerule=true,
frametitlebackgroundcolor=red!20,
frametitlebelowskip=2pt,
innerlinewidth=1.0pt
]
}{
\end{mdframed}
}
With this you simply enclose the part you wanted shaded in the first parameter to the Question environment, and the body of this environment is the answer, i.e., the part you don't wanted shaded. This yields:
150% and incrementing by 1% with Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 on Mac different lines appear and disappear. I have updated this to use framemthod=tikz and innerlinewidth=1.0pt option as this make this display problem less noticeable (but problem is still there).If you are only using the enumerate to create a numbered list, you could simplify things even further by using a custom counter. This is also courtesy of @MarcoDaniel.
If you are not already using enumitem, you should have a look at:

If you happen to be using this within minipages, please do make a note of Resuming a list started within a minipage
To adjust the settings of enumitem, refer to
Can't get my head around enumitem's spacing parameters

Best Answer
The package
frameduses the command\centerlinewhich always starts at the outer left margin. I recommend to switch to the new packagetcolorbox.
