I am more or less copying this answer. In order to have box, you need to put \StartBox in the line the box starts, and \EndBox in the line it ends. It supports page breaks. You need to compile up to three times.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{refcount}
\usetikzlibrary{backgrounds,calc}
\usepackage{tikzpagenodes}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\tikzset{SimpleBox/.style={fill=gray,fill opacity=0.3}}



\newcounter{tmp}

\newcommand{\StartBox}[1][]{%
  \stepcounter{tmp}%from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/52579/121799
  \tikz[remember picture,overlay, baseline=(Begin.base)]{%
  \node[anchor=base,inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt] (Begin) {\strut};}
  \label{a\thetmp}%
  \ifnum\getpagerefnumber{a\thetmp}=\getpagerefnumber{b\thetmp} \else
  \begin{tikzpicture}[overlay, remember picture]
   \path (current page text area.north west) -- (current page text area.south west)
    node(WestLine)[left]{};
   \path (current page text area.north east) -- (current page text area.south east)
    node(EastLine)[right]{};
   \begin{scope}[on background layer,blend mode=multiply]
   \draw[SimpleBox,#1] ($(current page text area.south-|WestLine)-(0,2pt)$)
   --      (Begin.north-|WestLine) -- (Begin.north-|EastLine) 
   --  ($(current page text area.south-|EastLine)-(0,2pt)$);
   \end{scope}
  \end{tikzpicture}%
  \fi%
}

\newcommand{\EndBox}[1][]{%
\tikz[remember picture,overlay, baseline=(End.base)]{%
\node[anchor=base,inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt] (End) {\strut};}%
  \label{b\thetmp}
  \ifnum\getpagerefnumber{a\thetmp}=\getpagerefnumber{b\thetmp}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
   \path (current page text area.north west) -- (current page text area.south west)
    node(WestLine)[left]{};
   \path (current page text area.north east) -- (current page text area.south east)
    node(EastLine)[right]{};
   \begin{scope}[on background layer,blend mode=multiply]
    \draw[SimpleBox,#1] (Begin.north-|WestLine) rectangle (End.south-|EastLine);
   \end{scope}
  \end{tikzpicture}
  \else
  \begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
   \path (current page text area.north west) -- (current page text area.south west)

   \begin{scope}[on background layer,blend mode=multiply]
   \draw[SimpleBox,#1] ($(current page text area.north-|WestLine)+(0,2pt)$)
   --      (End.south-|WestLine) -- (End.south-|EastLine) 
   --  ($(current page text area.north-|EastLine)-(0,2pt)$);
   \end{scope}
  \end{tikzpicture}
  \fi
}

\newcommand{\SimpleBox}[2][]{%
\StartBox[#1]%
#2\EndBox[#1]}
