I want to add a box with a very light pink background and red border around a word but inline and within a sentence.



i.e. something like this (drawn with inkscape)



enter image description here



I know the mdframed package can be used for placing boxes around paragraphs, but it does not seem to work inline and also give colored boxes.



Possibly TikZ is a solution? From the little I know of TikZ, it can be used to draw pictures inline inside a sentence.






tikz-pgf boxes

Yes, it is possible with TikZ. You can do this in two ways:



  • by including the code directly in the text.

  • by creating a LaTeX command named autour which contains the TikZ code.

Here is an example of two possibilities that have different parameters in order to visually show their effects.



autour



documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
newcommandautour[1]tikz[baseline=(X.base)]node [draw=red,fill=gray!40,semithick,rectangle,inner sep=2pt, rounded corners=3pt] (X) #1;

begindocument

Quick brown fox tikz[baseline=(X.base)]node [draw=black,fill=cyan!20,thick,rectangle,inner sep=3pt, rounded corners=4pt] (X) jumped; over the lazy dog.
bigskip

Quick brown fox autourjumped over the lazy dog.

This is a bit similar to AndréC's answer but to point out that there so some extent tikzmarknode, which comes with the really cool tikzmark library, got reinvented. And tikzmark allows you to do much more, of course.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
