Just curious, because the last of the three examples solves the problem. Why is it that this is allowed in the parameter list of \framed: \framed[frame=on,\iftrue width=3cm\fi]{abc} But this gives an error: \framed[frame=on,\iftrue background=color,backgroundcolor=green\fi]{abc} ! Incomplete \if; all text was ignored after line 42. <inserted text> \fi <*> test.tex emergencyend ? Allthough this works and solves the problem I had: \framed[frame=on,background=\iftrue color\else none \fi,backgroundcolor=green]{abc} Is this somewhat inconsistent behaviour intrinsic to some parameters? I thought all parameters are picked up by a macro and then stashed away. Hans van der Meer
