boxesformattingframedparagraphs
I would like to have a framebox around some paragraph titles. Something like the diagram below. I would like the framebox to have a background color (e.g. cyan), round corners, and shade if possible.
+-----------------------+
| Paragraph one | Paragraph text starts here.
+-----------------------+
I have been searching over the internet but only found solutions to wrap the entire paragraph or the section title which occupies a single line.
The syntax is \myFloat[optArgs left]{text left}[optArgs right]{text right}{caption}{label} the last two can be empty.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}% only for demo
\usepackage{xcolor,mdframed,caption}
\makeatletter
\def\myFLoat{\@ifnextchar[{\myFloat@i}{\myFloat@i[]}}
\def\myFloat@i[#1]#2{\@ifnextchar[%
{\myFloat@ii[#1]{#2}}%
{\myFloat@ii[#1]{#2}[]}}
\def\myFloat@ii[#1]#2[#3]#4#5#6{\par\medskip%
% \mdfsetup{innerleftmargin=10pt,innerrightmargin=10pt}%
\noindent\begin{minipage}[t]{0.475\textwidth}\leavevmode
\begin{mdframed}[#1]#2\end{mdframed}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.475\textwidth}\leavevmode
\begin{mdframed}[#3]#4\end{mdframed}
\end{minipage}
\ifx\relax#5\relax\else\captionof{figure}{#5}\fi%
\ifx\relax#6\relax\else\label{#6}\fi\par}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\blindtext
\myFLoat[linecolor=blue,linewidth=2pt,backgroundcolor=yellow]{\blindtext}%
[linecolor=red,linewidth=3pt]{\blindtext}%
{my caption for this float}{myLabel}
as seen in my Figure~\ref{myLabel} it works.
\blindtext
\myFLoat[linecolor=blue,linewidth=2pt,backgroundcolor=yellow]{\blindtext}%
[linecolor=red,linewidth=3pt]{\begin{align}y=\int\limits_1^2 f(x)dx\end{align}}%
{my caption for this float}{myLabelB}
\end{document}
You can use TikZ with the overlay option and a correct anchor. That would look like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand\mybox[2][]{\tikz[overlay]\node[fill=blue!20,inner sep=2pt, anchor=text, rectangle, rounded corners=1mm,#1] {#2};\phantom{#2}}
\begin{document}
\noindent
this is some text \mybox[fill=blue!20]{box} text\\
this is some text box text
\end{document}
You can specify extra options (like I have done here for the color). By using the overlay option and the text anchor we ensure correct placement and no influence on spacing. The phantom is added to get the normal spacing for the content of the box. This is the result of the example code:
Edit: To show that the vertical spacing is not affected either, consider the following:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand\mybox[2][]{\tikz[overlay]\node[fill=blue!20,inner sep=2pt, anchor=text, rectangle, rounded corners=1mm,#1] {#2};\phantom{#2}}
\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\noindent
this is some text \mybox[fill=blue!20]{box} text\\
this is some text box text
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\noindent
this is some text box text\\
this is some text box text
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
Which results in:

Without any fancy colors.
With colors and powers of
