In a document I am preparing using Org-mode, I need to create some “boxes” containing text, tables and figures. In LaTeX, mdframed seems to be the way to go. Is there a way to do it in Org-mode? How do I define something like 

#+begin_mdframed
Contents of the box go here
#+end_mdframed

Would appreciate a pointer to the right method.

Thanks,

Vikas

This is a place where I would resort to raw latex, probably in
#+begin_latex
\begin{mdframed}
...
\end{mdframed}
#+end_latex

I think you've found the answer.

This Org mode code:

,-----------------------------
| #+attr_latex: :options [foo]
| #+begin_mdframed            
| Contents of box go here.    
| #+end_mdframed              
`-----------------------------

exports this valid mdframed code to LaTeX:

\begin{mdframed}[foo]
Contents of box go here.
\end{mdframed}

hth,
Tom
