[Tex/LaTex] Adjustment of text inside \tcolorbox and getting rid of ident after box

formattingtcolorbox

I have following chunk of text:

\begin{tcolorbox}[boxrule=0pt,arc=0pt,colback=gray]
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'
\end{tcolorbox}

And screenshot represents latex output of this text.

tcolorbox output .

First 6 lines are formatted ok, but next lines are not ok, how do I align them properly (to the left)? And after box, in text, I have indent that I do NOT want to have. How do I fix it?

Use flushleft upper as the option to tcolorbox

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tcolorbox}[flushleft upper,boxrule=0pt,arc=0pt,colback=gray]
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{document}

enter image description here

With some font size and margin (left & right) adjustment like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\begin{document}
  \noindent
  Some text
  \begin{tcolorbox}[fontupper=\footnotesize,flushleft upper,boxrule=0pt,arc=0pt,left=2pt,right=2pt,colback=gray,after=\ignorespacesafterend\par\noindent]
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'\\
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.security.capability'
\end{tcolorbox}
Some text here
\end{document}

you get this:

To stop indenting after the box, you can use after=\ignorespacesafterend\par\noindent as the option to tcolorbox.

[Tex/LaTex] tcolorbox: get height of actual box from inside box

With tcolorbox version 3.90 (2016/02/29), there is a property \tcbtextheight which holds the text height of a fixed height box (inspired by this question!). With it, the solution is short:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{tikzscale}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\tcbuselibrary{raster}

\begin{filecontents}{tikzimage.tikz}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \begin{axis}[xlabel=time,ylabel=value]
            \addplot{x^2};
        \end{axis}
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{filecontents}


\begin{document}
    \begin{tcbraster}[%
        raster columns=2,
        raster rows=2,
        raster height=\textheight,
        ]
        \begin{tcolorbox}\end{tcolorbox}
        \begin{tcolorbox}\end{tcolorbox}
        \begin{tcolorbox}\end{tcolorbox}
        \begin{tcolorbox}[title={box 1\\line two}]
            \includegraphics[%
            width=\linewidth,
            height=\tcbtextheight,
            ]{tikzimage.tikz}
        \end{tcolorbox}
    \end{tcbraster}
\end{document}

Old Answer (valid for tcolorbox before version 3.90):

In my answer, a new option remember height is constructed which saves the actual inner height into a chosen macro at the begin of the upper box. The following example uses \myheight which can be used to scale the included image.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{tikzscale}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\tcbuselibrary{raster}

\begin{filecontents}{tikzimage.tikz}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \begin{axis}[xlabel=time,ylabel=value]
            \addplot{x^2};
        \end{axis}
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{filecontents}


\makeatletter
\tcbset{%
  remember height/.style={before upper={%
    \iftcb@fixedheight%
      \tcbdimto#1{\kvtcb@top@rule@stand+\kvtcb@bottom@rule@stand+\kvtcb@boxsep*2+\kvtcb@top+\kvtcb@bottom}%
      \iftcb@hasTitle%
        \tcbdimto#1{#1+\ht\tcb@titlebox+\dp\tcb@titlebox+\kvtcb@title@rule+\kvtcb@boxsep*2+\kvtcb@toptitle+\kvtcb@bottomtitle}%
      \fi%
      \tcbdimto#1{\kvtcb@height@fixed-#1}%
    \else%
      \tcbdimto#1{4cm}% fallback
    \fi%
  }},
}
\makeatother


\begin{document}
    \begin{tcbraster}[%
        raster columns=2,
        raster rows=2,
        raster height=\textheight,
        ]
        \begin{tcolorbox}\end{tcolorbox}
        \begin{tcolorbox}\end{tcolorbox}
        \begin{tcolorbox}\end{tcolorbox}
        \begin{tcolorbox}[title={box 1\\line two},remember height=\myheight]
            \includegraphics[%
            width=\linewidth,
            height=\myheight,
            ]{tikzimage.tikz}
        \end{tcolorbox}
    \end{tcbraster}
\end{document}

Maybe, such on option or something similar whould not be bad as an official option?
