Visual highlighted text with title, mix of enumeration and framedtext
Hi, I want to typeset a "Good to know" section that is visually highlighted and can spawn across multiple pages. In LaTeX this would be possible with the mdframed package. See the attached screenshot for an example how it might look like (it is copied out of page 4: Definition: Inhomogeneous linear of the mdframed documentation: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mdframed/mdframed.pdf) I have searched in the wiki and found \defineenumeration: This is near of that what I need. However I explicitly does not need an enumeration (so no number or counter). Also I am not sure if I can set a background and so on. The other possibility is \defineframedtext. For example this goes much in the direction that I want: \definecolor[gbackground][s=0.98] \defineframedtext[gtk][frame=on, offset=5pt, background=color, width=0.95\textwidth, backgroundcolor=gbackground] However, there does not seem a possibility to define a title and it seems to not work on multiple pages. Is there a mix of an enumeration and framedtext that can produce something like in the attached picture? Best, Gerion

If you don’t need an enumeration, then don’t use one. Did you try text backgrounds? https://wiki.contextgarden.net/TextBackground And then use the plethora of \framed options. Hraban

As an example, see this article that I had written years ago: https://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-4/mahajan/ The solution environment there is similar to what you want. Most of the code there should still work with minor changes. Aditya
