Best approach to get a content-fitting colorbox with vertical partitioning? #314
Comments
One way is to save each table in a box, then use the boxes in a \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\newsavebox{\myVerbBoxA}
\newsavebox{\myVerbBoxB}
\newsavebox{\myVerbBoxC}
\newlength{\myVerbWidth}
\newlength{\myVerbWidthX}
\NewDocumentCommand{\myVerbTable}{m m m}{%
\sbox{\myVerbBoxA}{#1}%
\sbox{\myVerbBoxB}{#2}%
\sbox{\myVerbBoxC}{#3}%
\setlength{\myVerbWidth}{\wd\myVerbBoxA}%
\ifdim\myVerbWidth<\wd\myVerbBoxB
\setlength{\myVerbWidth}{\wd\myVerbBoxB}%
\fi
\ifdim\myVerbWidth<\wd\myVerbBoxC
\setlength{\myVerbWidth}{\wd\myVerbBoxC}%
\fi
\begin{tcolorbox}[text width=\myVerbWidth, title=First part]
\usebox{\myVerbBoxA}
\tcbsubtitle{Second part}
\usebox{\myVerbBoxB}
\tcbsubtitle{Third part}
\usebox{\myVerbBoxC}
\end{tcolorbox}
}
\begin{document}
\myVerbTable{Content}{more}{more \ldots}
\myVerbTable{\begin{tabular}{@{}ll@{}}
a & a \\
bb & bb \\
ccc & ccc
\end{tabular}}{more}{looooong loooong loooong}
\end{document}
BTW, more suited for Q&A forums like tex.stackexchange.com. |

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
I'd like to make the box fit the content, the content being a verb paradigm table, which obviously differs in width depending on the verb (hence the fitting). Below that I'd like to add the irrealis forms of the same verb, ie. a second table. And below that a simple list with some additional non-table forms.
Now it seems that neither the upper/lower part mechanism, nor subtitles work when using
capture=hbox. Why is that? And what can I do to achieve something close to the desired result?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
