I have a feeling that this is a profoundly stupid question but I cannot seem to solve it myself.
I am trying to write an own macro to create a boxed paragraph. The code works fine in-line but when I try to define the command it just creates a small box in the same place that I wrote the command. My codes are below. I am pretty much a complete newbie at this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
\fbox{\parbox{\linewidth}{Inline this works perfectly.}}
\newcommand{\note}{\fbox{\parbox{\linewidth}{}}}
