Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Title parameter in tcolorbox

[lrPrentice]

Hello,

New to tcolorbox and struggling.

Thanks to help from Paul Rubin I've defined a color box for displaying computer code as follows:

New Color Box Type cBoxA2colback=gray!25!white, colbacktitle=black, colframe=black!75!black,fonttitle=\bfseries, title=\listno\,comment, width=\textwidth

It mostly works except for two issues. Here I'll only inquire about the first issue:

Issue 1:

\listno\ is a macro I've defined to display chapter number:listing number: e.g. "Listing 2.1". That works. But rather than the hard-coded "comment," I need to insert the comment as a parameter in each new listing: e.g. Listing 2.1 <comment specific to this listing>.

But despite hours of Google search and study of tcolorbox manual, I can't figure out how to do it.

Can some kind soul point the way?

Many thanks,

Lloyd R. Prentice

Hi Lloyd,

welcome to the forum!

Do you have some code that we can compile and test? (minimal working example)

Hi, I am also struggling with this.

Is there a way to override the title or allow it to be defined when it is used?

The code I have is

Code: Select all

\newtcolorbox{mytcolorbox}{colback=green!10,enhanced,title=Areas to Consider are, attach boxed title to top left={xshift=-4mm}, fonttitle=\bfseries}

then later on it the document I use it as follows

Code: Select all

\begin{mytcolorbox}
        \begin{itemize}
            \item[\S] - list 1
            \item[\S] - list 2          
        \end{itemize}
\end{mytcolorbox}

As fast I know I need the title as I want it to be in the top left and so it requires a value, but I cannot override it or allow it be entered later.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Darryl
