StripWrapperBoxes
is an option to TagBox that controls how boxes are stripped upon evaluation.
Details

- When a
evaluation takes place, the front end sends a box representation of the input to the kernel. The box representation may be stripped of some boxes so that their presence will have no effect upon evaluation semantics.
- The default setting of StripWrapperBoxes->False on TagBox prevents any boxes inside the TagBox from being stripped.
- StripWrapperBoxes->True restores the stripping behavior.
Examples
