General ⇒ Difficulties with mdframed

[Cham]

I'm having some troubles with the mdframed package options. Here's a MWE to show the problem :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{article}
\usepackage[letterpaper,margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{mdframed}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\begin{document}

Bla bla bla bla

\begin{mdframed}[linecolor=gray,roundcorner=12pt,backgroundcolor=brown!15,linewidth=1pt,leftmargin=0cm,rightmargin=0cm,topline=true,bottomline=true,skipabove=12pt]

\subsubsection*{Some title}

Some text just some text.  Some text just some text.  Some text just some text.  Some text just some text.  Some text just some text.  Some text just some text.  Some text just some text.  Some text just some text.  Some text just some text.

\end{mdframed}

Bla bla bla

\end{document}

Here's a picture of the output, showing two problems :

The main problem is the extra space above the subsubsection title. How to remove or adjust that useless space ?

The second problem are the corners. I'm currently unable to add some round corners.

Any ideas about these ?

Adding the option [cmd]innertopmargin=0pt[/cmd] gives a better space above the title. But still unable to make round corners.

Try

\usepackage[framemethod=TikZ]{mdframed}

then round corners should work.

Yes, it's working. But then I lost my shadow and get a weird complicated message instead. I guess these shadow options are incompatible with the round corners : shadow=true,shadowsize=2pt,shadowcolor=gray!30.

Not an answer, just a remark: I used to use mdframed a lot but nowadays I exclusively use tcolorbox: it is more flexible, gives better results. IMHO it is worth the trouble to switch from one to the other.
