Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Section names in a tcolorbox

[bstex]

Hi,
I'm trying to put all the section names of my book in a tcolorbox.
I have this code:

Code: Select all

\titleformat{\section}[hang]{\LARGE\bfseries\color{red}}{}{0pt}{\LARGE\bfseries\color{red}}

but I can't find out where to put the \begin{tcolorbox} and \end{tcolorbox} to make the section name (I don't mind about the section number) into a tcolobox.
Thank you in advance.

Isn't this the same as http://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=30583?

Hi Johannes,

it's now tcolorbox instead of colorbox but it could be the same. In the other topic it was made by redefining LaTeX' internal macro, not titlesec as it's mentioned here.

I'm not using the same template yet.
I found out that the "\thesection" is referring to the section number.
What is the code for the section name? I can't find it to put it in a tcolorbox.

In the other topic I patched the internal LaTeX macro \@ssect. It's default LaTeX, independent of the template, so you can use it in a similar way here. Just if a package redefines such internal stuff (titlesec may do) it can make a difference, but just test it with the \@ssect patch.

\@ssect is from kind of 25 old base LaTeX internals, that's why it doesn't look so user friendly like having a macro for the section name that could be redefined easily.
