How can I add a graph paper background for my framed boxes?
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{framed}
\begin{document}
Calculate the Solution of $5+3$
\begin{framed}
\vspace{5cm}
\end{framed}
\end{document}

based style for mdframed
(instead of framed
)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[framemethod=tikz]{mdframed}
\usetikzlibrary{backgrounds}
\mdfdefinestyle{graphpaper}{%
apptotikzsetting={\tikzset{mdfbackground/.style={}}},
singleextra={%
\scoped[on background layer,yshift=\mdfboundingboxheight]{\draw[step=5mm, line width=0.2mm, black!20!white] (0,0) grid (\mdfboundingboxwidth,-\mdfboundingboxheight);}
},
}
\begin{document}
Calculate the Solution of $5+3$
\begin{mdframed}[style=graphpaper]
\vspace{5cm}
\end{mdframed}
\end{document}
