[Tex/LaTex] How to avoid the break of framed/shaded

framedpage-breaking

I have a problem with the framed environment. I am writing a document (article), and several parts of it have a gray background. Unfortunately, when a new page comes, such a shaded environment is cut in half 🙁

How can I avoid this? (with no use of \newpage...)

Example: In the document generated by this code, I would like the second shaded environment to be placed in the second page:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{framed,color}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{.75}
\begin{document}
\begin{shaded}
Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text
\end{shaded}
\begin{shaded}
Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text
\end{shaded}
\end{document}

Although it sort of defeats the purpose of the framed package, you may enclose every shaded environment within a minipage (of width \linewidth) to prohibit page breaks. In my example I use the etoolbox package to patch the defintion of the shaded environment.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{framed,color}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{.75}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\BeforeBeginEnvironment{shaded}{\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}}
\AfterEndEnvironment{shaded}{\end{minipage}\par}
\begin{document}
\begin{shaded}
Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text
\end{shaded}
\begin{shaded}
Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text\\Text
\end{shaded}
\end{document}

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}

[Tex/LaTex] Footnotemark and footnotetext on different pages

There is no requirement for the \footnotemark and \footnotetext{<text>} to be on the same page. You can either issue a \clearpage to flush all content and typeset \footnotetext{<text>} on the following page, or you could automatically have it set on the following page using atbegshi:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{atbegshi}% http://ctan.org/pkg/atbegshi
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
This line gets broken across two pages in order to accomodate long footnotes. %
Preferably, the second footnote would not obligatorily begin on the %
same page as the first footnote. This would avoid awkwardly large blank pages.%
\footnote{The footnote itself has a footnote.\footnotemark%
\lipsum}%
\AtBeginShipoutNext{\footnotetext{\lipsum}}% Typeset footnote on following page
\ \lipsum
\end{document}

atbegshi provides \AtBeginShipoutNext{<stuff>} which delays execution of <stuff> in the above case, since the page is already assembled for shipout, and subsequently flushed to the following page. More text follows the after the "delayed \footnotetext", just to show how text flow is maintained.
