tcolorbox
I'm desperately searching for a way to recreate those really nice inline-tcboxes they used in tcolorbox manual for, as an example, emphasizing libraries' names.
I found some topics about left-sided + rotated titles but I can't find a way to adapt the aswers to this specific goal.
Does anyone have a clue ?
Something like that?
In my example code, I made a new environment mybox which takes tcolorbox options as optional argument, then the title and subtitle text as normal arguments.
The new length settings are done by
my rule=1pt,
left to separator=3cm,
separator to subtitle=1cm,
where my rule stores the rule width and the two other options store the distances to the vertical line as you requested.
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tcolorbox,lipsum}
\tcbuselibrary{skins,raster,breakable}
\newlength{\normalparindent}
\AtBeginDocument{\setlength{\normalparindent}{\parindent}}
\tcbset{before upper={\setlength{\parindent}{\normalparindent}}}
\tcbset{
my rule/.store in=\myrule,
left to separator/.store in=\mylefttoseparator,
separator to subtitle/.store in=\myseparatortosubtitle,
}
\newtcolorbox{mybox}[3][]{%

separator to subtitle=1cm,

lefttitle=\mylefttoseparator+\myrule+\myseparatortosubtitle,

underlay unbroken and first={
\node[right,inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt,

text width=\mylefttoseparator-5mm] at (title.west) {#2};
\draw[tcbcol@frame,line width=\myrule]
([xshift=-\myrule,yshift=-\myrule/2]title.south west)--([xshift=\myrule,yshift=-\myrule/2]title.south east)
([xshift=\mylefttoseparator+\myrule/2]title.south west)--([xshift=\mylefttoseparator+\myrule/2]title.north west);
},
#1,
}
\begin{document}
\begin{mybox}{TITLE}{SUBTITLE}
\noindent\lipsum[2]
\end{mybox}
\begin{mybox}{TITLE}{Subtitle (If the subtitle is too long, like it is here,
then it should wrap like this, and the title on the left
hand side should be centered relative to the subtitle)}
\noindent\lipsum[3]
\end{mybox}
\end{document}
Warning: I am no titlesec expert, but as far as I understood the 3rd. mandatory argument of a \titleformat is used for the vertical separation of the title. So use a negative value to shift up the title.
I introduced the \chaptertopspacing length variable and set it to the value of 130pt, this value is somewhat 'arbitrary' and should be changed to one's own needs.

Copied from
tcolorbox's documentation:The line
\MakeRobust\mylibmakes\mylibrobust, so that you can use it in the argument of commands like\sectionor\caption. The line\pdfstringdefDisableCommands(used only ifhyperrefis loaded) makes\mylibproduce a sensible PDF outline entry when used in\section. If you then do\section{Library \mylib{lipsum}}it won't break (because of\MakeRobust), and the PDF outline will sayLibrary 'lipsum'.
