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.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
