How to put a quotation box wrapped in text?

Question

What is the easiest way to put a box for quotation wrapped within text as we do for figure with wrapfig. Like half-sized box of text in magazines. I am trying float, but I am not sure if it is the best choice for this purpose.

I am looking for a flexible solution: When the box content is long, split the box in two pages (continues to the next page along with the main text).

Answer 1

I might have misunderstood the question... but I think you want to wrap the quotation within text. It can be achieved using wrapfig package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{wrapfig}% http://ctan.org/pkg/wrapfig
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\begin{document}
\begin{wrapfigure}[11]{l}{.5\textwidth}
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
%\centering
``Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Proin ac tempus dui. Etiam non mattis neque. Maecenas tempor,
massa a luctus sollicitudin, elit massa auctor velit, eu mattis
lacus arcu nec est. 

Sed et lectus non tellus posuere consequat.
Donec congue lacinia urna a iaculis. Cras id nisl sed sapien
euismod rhoncus.''
\end{minipage}}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

If you want the box to span many pages, then the mdframed option suggested in the other answer should be followed.

Answer 2

Floats cannot wrap multiple pages. I would recommend the mdframed package for this purpose.
