\section{Option Keys}\label{sec:optkeys}%
\tcbset{external/prefix=external/coreoptions_}%
For the \meta{options} in \refEnv{tcolorbox} respectively \refCom{tcbset}
the following |pgf| keys can be applied%
\footnote{Strictly speaking, they are \texttt{pgfkeys} keys.
  The \texttt{pgfkeys} package is auto-loaded by \texttt{pgf} and is
  documented in \cite[Part~VII]{tantau:tikz_and_pgf}.}.
The key tree path |/tcb/| is not to
be used inside these macros. It is easy to add your own style keys using
the syntax for |pgf| keys, see \cite{tantau:tikz_and_pgf,sturm:latex} or the examples
starting from page~\pageref{sec:latextutorial}.


\subsection{Title}
\begin{docTcbKey}{title}{=\meta{text}}{no default, initially empty}
  Creates a heading line with \meta{text} as content.
\begin{exdispExample*}{title}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6}
\begin{tcolorbox}[title=My heading line]
This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{exdispExample*}
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}{notitle}{}{no value, initially set}
  Removes the title line if set before.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}{adjusted title}{=\meta{text}}{style, no default, initially unset}
  Creates a heading line with \meta{text} as content. The minimal height of
  this line is adjusted to fit the text given by \refKey{/tcb/adjust text}.
  This option makes sense
  for single line headings if boxes are set side by side with equal height.
  Note that it is very easy to trick this adjustment.
\begin{exdispExample}[runs=2]{adjusted_title}
\tcbset{colback=White,arc=0mm,width=(\linewidth-4pt)/4,
equal height group=AT,before=,after=\hfill,fonttitle=\bfseries}

The following titles are not adjusted:\\
\foreach \n in {xxx,ggg,AAA,\"Agypten}
{\begin{tcolorbox}[title=\n,colframe=red!75!black]
  Some content.\end{tcolorbox}}
Now, we try again with adjusted titles:\\
\foreach \n in {xxx,ggg,AAA,\"Agypten}
{\begin{tcolorbox}[adjusted title=\n,colframe=blue!75!black]
  Some content.\end{tcolorbox}}
\end{exdispExample}
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}{adjust text}{=\meta{text}}{no default, initially \texttt{\"Apgjy}}
  This sets the reference text for \refKey{/tcb/adjusted title}. If your texts
  never exceed \enquote{\"Apgjy} in depth and height you don't need to care about this option.
\end{docTcbKey}

\clearpage

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2014-11-24]{squeezed title}{=\meta{text}}{style, no default, initially unset}
  Creates a single heading line with \meta{text} as content.
  If the \meta{text} is longer than the available space, the text is
  squeezed to fit into the available space.
\begin{exdispExample}{squeezed_title}
% \tcbuselibrary{raster}
\begin{tcbitemize}[raster columns=3,raster equal height,
  colframe=red!75!black,colback=red!5!white,fonttitle=\bfseries]
\tcbitem[squeezed title={Short title}]
  First box
\tcbitem[squeezed title={This is a very very long title}]
  Second box
\tcbitem[squeezed title={This title is clearly to long for this application}]
  Third box
\end{tcbitemize}
\end{exdispExample}
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2014-11-24]{squeezed title*}{=\meta{text}}{style, no default, initially unset}
  This is a combination of \refKey{/tcb/adjusted title} and  \refKey{/tcb/squeezed title}.
\begin{exdispExample}{squeezed_title_2}
% \tcbuselibrary{raster}
\begin{tcbitemize}[raster columns=3,raster equal height,
  colframe=red!75!black,colback=red!5!white,fonttitle=\bfseries]

  First box
\tcbitem[squeezed title*={This is a very very long title}]
  Second box
\tcbitem[squeezed title*={This title is clearly to long for this application}]
  Third box
\end{tcbitemize}
\end{exdispExample}
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2019-03-01]{titlebox}{=\meta{mode}}{no default, initially \texttt{visible}}
  Controls the treatment of the title part of the box.
  Feasible values for \meta{mode} are:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item\docValue{visible}: usual type setting of the title box,
  \item\docValue{invisible}: empty space instead of the title contents.
  \end{itemize}
\begin{exdispExample}{titlebox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[title=My invisible title,
  titlebox=invisible]
This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{exdispExample}
\end{docTcbKey}



\clearpage
\begin{docTcbKey}{detach title}{}{no value}
Detaches the title from its normal position. The text of the title is
stored into \docAuxCommand{tcbtitletext} and the formatted title is
available by \docAuxCommand{tcbtitle}.
The main application is to move the title from its usual place to another one.
\begin{exdispExample}{detach_title}
\newtcolorbox{mybox}[2][]{colbacktitle=red!10!white,
  colback=blue!10!white,coltitle=red!70!black,
  title={#2},fonttitle=\bfseries,#1}

\begin{mybox}[detach title,after upper={\par\hfill\tcbtitle}]{My title}
  This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
\end{mybox}
\end{exdispExample}
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}{attach title}{}{no value}
Attaches the title to its normal position. This option is used to reverse
\refKey{/tcb/detach title}.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc updated=2015-07-08]{attach title to upper}{\colOpt{=\meta{text}}}{style, default empty, initially unset}
Attaches the title to the begin of the upper part of the box content.
The optional \meta{text} is set between the formatted title and the box content.
\begin{exdispExample}{attach_title_to_upper}
\newtcolorbox{mybox}[2][]{colbacktitle=red!10!white,
  colback=blue!10!white,coltitle=red!70!black,
  title={#2},fonttitle=\bfseries,#1}

\begin{mybox}[attach title to upper={\ ---\ }]{My title}
  This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
\end{mybox}
\begin{mybox}[attach title to upper,after title={:\ }]{My title}
  This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.

\subsection{Subtitle}

Inside the box content, one or more subtitles can be added.
In general, a subtitle is a further \refEnv{tcolorbox} which inherits some
color and geometry options from the enclosing box. It may be customized
just like any other \refEnv{tcolorbox}.

\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2014-10-10]{tcbsubtitle}{\oarg{options}\marg{text}}
  Used inside a \refEnv{tcolorbox} to add a subtitle box with the given \meta{text}.
  This is an independent \refEnv{tcolorbox} which is formatted by several
  inherited properties of the enclosing box, by further settings from
  \refKey{/tcb/subtitle style}, and by the given \meta{options}.
\begin{exdispExample*}{tcbsubtitle_1}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6}
\begin{tcolorbox}[title=My title,
    colback=red!5!white,
    colframe=red!75!black,
    fonttitle=\bfseries]
  This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
\tcbsubtitle[before skip=\baselineskip]%
  {My subtitle}
  Further text.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{exdispExample*}
\begin{exdispExample*}{tcbsubtitle_2}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6}
\begin{tcolorbox}[title=My title,
    colback=red!5!white,
    colframe=red!75!black,
    colbacktitle=yellow!50!red,
    coltitle=red!25!black,
    fonttitle=\bfseries]
  This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
\tcbsubtitle[before skip=\baselineskip]%
  {My subtitle}
  Further text.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{exdispExample*}
\end{docCommand}

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2014-10-10]{subtitle style}{=\meta{options}}{no default, initially empty}
  Adds |tcolorbox| \meta{options} to the settings for \refCom{tcbsubtitle}.
\begin{exdispExample*}{subtitle_style}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6}
\begin{tcolorbox}[title=My title,
  colback=red!5!white,
  colframe=red!75!black,
  colbacktitle=yellow!50!red,
  coltitle=red!25!black,
  fonttitle=\bfseries,
  subtitle style={boxrule=0.4pt,
    colback=yellow!50!red!25!white,
    colupper=red!75!gray} ]
  This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
\tcbsubtitle{My subtitle}
  Further text.
\tcbsubtitle{Second subtitle}
  Further text.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{exdispExample*}
\end{docTcbKey}

\subsection{Upper Part}
The text content of a \refEnv{tcolorbox} may be parted into a mandatory \emph{upper part}
and an optional \emph{lower part}. These parts are separated by
\refCom{tcblower}. If there is no \refCom{tcblower} present, there is no
\emph{lower part} and the \emph{upper part} forms the complete text content.

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2015-01-06]{upperbox}{=\meta{mode}}{no default, initially \texttt{visible}}
  Controls the treatment of the upper part of the box. If there is no lower part,
  this is the complete text content.
  Feasible values for \meta{mode} are:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item\docValue{visible}: usual type setting of the upper part,
  \item\docValue{invisible}: empty space instead of the upper part contents.
  \end{itemize}
\begin{exdispExample}{upperbox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[upperbox=invisible,colback=white]
This is a \textbf{tcolorbox} (but invisible).
\end{tcolorbox}

\begin{tcolorbox}[upperbox=invisible,colback=white]
This is a \textbf{tcolorbox} (but invisible).
\tcblower
This is the lower part.

\end{exdispExample}
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new and updated={2015-01-06}{2019-03-01}]{visible}{}{style, no value}

\end{docTcbKey}


\clearpage
\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2015-05-04]{saveto}{=\meta{file name}}{no default, initially empty}
  Saves the content of the box into a file for an optional later usage.
  This is the counterpart of \refKey{/tcb/savelowerto}, but it saves not
  only the upper part but the whole content. If a lower part is present,
  it is also saved including \refCom{tcblower}.
  An empty \meta{file name} deactivates \refKey{/tcb/saveto}.
  \begin{marker}
  This option cannot be combined with \refKey{/tcb/savelowerto} or
  \refKey{/tcb/redirectlowerto}.
  \end{marker}

\begin{exdispExample}{saveto_1}
\begin{tcolorbox}[invisible,saveto=\jobname_mysave1.tex,colback=white]
This is a \textbf{tcolorbox} which seems to be empty.
The content is saved for later usage.
\end{tcolorbox}

Now, we load the saved text:\\
\input{\jobname_mysave1.tex}
\end{exdispExample}

\begin{exdispExample}{saveto_2}
\begin{tcolorbox}[saveto=\jobname_mysave2.tex]

\clearpage
\subsection{Lower Part}
\begin{docTcbKey}{lowerbox}{=\meta{mode}}{no default, initially \texttt{visible}}
  Controls the treatment of the lower part of the box.
  Feasible values for \meta{mode} are:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item\docValue{visible}: usual type setting of the lower part,
  \item\docValue{invisible}: empty space instead of the lower part contents,
  \item\docValue{ignored}: the lower part is not used (here).
  \end{itemize}
  The last two values are usually applied in connection with |savelowerto|.

  \begin{marker}
  The lower part is always typeset into a box which is used or dropped
  accordingly. The only exception is applying \refKey{/tcb/redirectlowerto}.
  \end{marker}

\begin{exdispExample}{lowerbox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[lowerbox=invisible,colback=white]
This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
\tcblower

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2023-07-17]{redirectlowerto}{=\meta{file name}}{no default, initially empty}
  This is a combination of \refKey{/tcb/savelowerto} and \refKey{/tcb/lowerbox}|=|\docValue{ignored}
  \emph{and additionally} avoids typesetting the content of the lower part.
  This can be useful, if the lower part contains counters or similar.
  An empty \meta{file name} deactivates the saving, but the \refKey{/tcb/lowerbox}
  setting will still be \docValue{ignored}.

  To catch the end of the new box environment \meta{name} has to be the name of
  this environment. Additionally, the environment definition has to use
  |\tcolorbox| instead of
  |\begin{tcolorbox}| and |\endtcolorbox| instead of |\end{tcolorbox}|.

  The feasible values for \meta{alignment} are more or less identical to
  the corresponding |/tikz/align| settings, even if the implementation differs.
  \begin{itemize}
  \item\docValue{justify}: usual left and right justified type setting.
  \item\docValue{left}: left border justification in analogy to plain \TeX.
  \item\docValue{flush left}: left border justification with |\raggedright| of \LaTeX.
  \item\docValue{right}: right border justification in analogy to plain \TeX.
  \item\docValue{flush right}: right border justification with |\raggedleft| of \LaTeX.
  \item\docValue{center}: centering in analogy to plain \TeX.
  \item\docValue{flush center}: centering with |\centering| of \LaTeX.
  \end{itemize}
  The differences between the flush and non-flush version are explained in
  detail in the \tikzname\ manual \cite{tantau:tikz_and_pgf}. The short story is that
  the non-flush versions will often look more balanced but with more
  hyphenations.
  \refKey{/tcb/halign upper} is an alias for \refKey{/tcb/halign}.

The vertical alignment settings are only relevant for boxes which are larger
than their natural height, see \Fullref{sec:heightcontrol}.
\end{marker}

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc updated=2015-07-16]{valign}{=\meta{alignment}}{no default, initially |top|}
  If the height of a |tcolorbox| is not the natural height, |valign|
  determines the vertical \meta{alignment} of the upper part.
  Feasible values are
  \begin{itemize}
  \item\docValue{top}: Anchor text at top.
  \item\docValue{center}: Anchor text at center.
  \item\docValue{bottom}: Anchor text at bottom.
  \item\docValue{scale}: Scale text vertically to fit into the available space.
    This is brutal and may not look very good. Consider \Fullref{sec:fitting}
    alternatively.
  \item\docValue{scale*}: Like \docValue{scale}, but scaling is bounded by
    \refKey{/tcb/valign scale limit}.
  \end{itemize}
  For a box with natural height, these settings are meaningless.
\begin{exdispExample}{valign}
\tcbset{width=(\linewidth-2mm)/4,before=,after=\hfill,

\foreach \myalign in {top,center,bottom,scale}

\begin{docTcbKey}{valign lower}{=\meta{alignment}}{no default, initially |top|}
  This key has the same meaning for the lower part as |valign|
  for the upper part, i.\,e., it determines
  the vertical \meta{alignment} of the lower part with feasible values
  |top|, |center|, |bottom|, |scale|, and |scale*|.
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2015-07-16]{valign scale limit}{=\meta{real number}}{no default, initially \texttt{1.1}}
  Sets an upper scale limit for the \docValue{scale*} setting in

  Note that this value is not reset by \refKey{/tcb/reset}. So, changes
  also apply to embedded boxes.

  According to the \meta{toggle preset}, the left and the right settings
  of the |tcolorbox| are switched or not. Feasible values are:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item\docValue{none}: no switching.
  \item\docValue{forced}: the values of the left and right rules, spaces, and corners are switched.
  \item\docValue{evenpage}: if the page is an even page, the values of the left and
    right rules, spaces, and corners are switched. This value also sets
    \refKey{/tcb/check odd page} to |true|.
  \end{itemize}
\begin{marker}
Horizontal bounding box enlargements are not toggled by this option.
They can be toggled independently by \refKey{/tcb/toggle enlargement}.
For example, \refKey{/tcb/oversize} changes the bounding box.

\subsection{Corners}\label{subsec:corners}

The four corners of any |tcolorbox| can be set individually as
\refKey{/tcb/sharp corners} or as \refKey{/tcb/rounded corners}.
These settings are also reflected in the behavior of \refKey{/tcb/borderline}
and \refKey{/tcb/shadow} as one would expect.

By default, all four corners are \emph{rounded}. So, only the
\refKey{/tcb/sharp corners} option will be necessary for most use cases.
The \refKey{/tcb/rounded corners} option can be used to revert a \refKey{/tcb/sharp corners}
setting.

\begin{docTcbKey}{sharp corners}{=\meta{position}}{default |all|, initially unset}
The \meta{position} denotes one or more of the four box corners to be set as
\emph{sharp} corners. The not assigned corners will retain their mode.
Feasible values for \meta{position} are:
\begin{itemize}
\foreach \p in {northwest,northeast,southwest,southeast,north,south,east,west,downhill,uphill,all}
{
\item\tcbox[on line,size=title,arc=2mm,colframe=red!75!black,colback=red!5!white,
  enlarge top by=0.5mm,enlarge bottom by=0.5mm,sharp corners=\p]{\docValue{\p}}

\begin{docTcbKey}{rounded corners}{=\meta{position}}{default |all|, initially |all|}
The \refKey{/tcb/rounded corners} can be used to revert a \refKey{/tcb/sharp corners}
setting. The \meta{position} denotes one or more of the four box corners to be set as
\emph{rounded} corners. The not assigned corners will retain their mode.
Feasible values for \meta{position} are\footnote{The graphical examples assume
  that the boxes where set to have sharp corners before.}:
\begin{itemize}
\foreach \p in {northwest,northeast,southwest,southeast,north,south,east,west,downhill,uphill,all}
{
\item\tcbox[on line,size=title,arc=2mm,colframe=red!75!black,colback=red!5!white,

\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}{sharpish corners}{}{style, no value}
  Shortcut for setting \refKey{/tcb/arc} and \refKey{/tcb/outer arc}
  to |0pt|. With this setting, rounded corners will appear as quasi-sharp,
  but e.\,g.\ the shadow will be somewhat rounder than the shadow
  of really sharp corners.
  \begin{marker}
  Corners are still of type \emph{rounded} with this option, but appear
  \emph{sharp}. To switch back to rounded corners, one has to adapt
  \refKey{/tcb/arc} and \refKey{/tcb/outer arc}.

The following examples will show the differences between
\refKey{/tcb/rounded corners}, \refKey{/tcb/sharpish corners}, and \refKey{/tcb/sharp corners}.
The later two give the same core box, but \refKey{/tcb/borderline}
and \refKey{/tcb/shadow} settings are slightly different.
The following examples use \refKey{/tcb/drop fuzzy shadow}.

\subsection{Height Control}\label{sec:heightcontrol}
In a typical usage scenario, the height of a |tcolorbox| is computed automatically
to fit the content. Nevertheless, the height can be set to a fixed value
or to fit commonly for several boxes, e.\,g. if boxes are set side by side.

\bigskip
\begin{marker}
  The height control keys are only applicable to unbreakable boxes.
  If a box is set to be \refKey{/tcb/breakable}, the height is always
  computed according to the \emph{natural height}.

\begin{docTcbKey}{height}{=\meta{length}}{no default}
  Sets the total height of the colored box to \meta{length} independent
  of the box content. \meta{length} is the minimum height of the box, if
  \refKey{/tcb/height plus} is larger than zero.
\begin{exdispExample}{height}

  the box content to add content which is vertically sized to match \meta{macro}.
  \begin{marker}

      \meta{macro} plus any offset length.
    \item Never ever use \meta{macro} multiplied with a factor. The only

  If the height of a |tcolorbox| is not the natural height, the

  of the segmentation between the upper and the lower part. Here, 0 stands
  for top and 1 for bottom. Note that the box is split regardless of
  the actual dimensions of the text parts!
\begin{exdispExample}{split}

  Boxes which are members of an |equal height group| will all get the

  \meta{id} serves to distinguish between different height groups.
  %This \meta{id} should contain only characters which are feasible

  %and spaces.
  Note that you have to compile twice to see changes and

\begin{docTcbKey}{minimum for equal height group}{=\meta{id}:\meta{length}}{no default, initially unset}
  Plants a \meta{length} into the equal height group with
  the given \meta{id}. This ensures that the height will not drop below
  \meta{length}. Note that you cannot reduce a computed height value
  by using this key with a small value.
  The difference to applying \refKey{/tcb/height} directly is that the boxes
  are never too small for their content.

  \refKey{/tcb/equal height group} has to be set \emph{before} this option is used.

  an equal height group with the given \meta{id}. If this height is not
  available during the current compilation, no fixed height setting is used.
  If \meta{id} is omitted, the current equal height group is used which has
  to be set before by \refKey{/tcb/equal height group}.\par
  Note that the natural height of the current box is not considered for
  computation of the group height. The main application for
  \refKey{/tcb/use height from group} is that the height can be adapted
  further by \refKey{/tcb/add to height}.

\begin{dispExample}
\begin{tcolorbox}[use height from group=C,add to height=-2cm,

\subsection{Overlays}\label{subsec:overlays}
With an overlay, arbitrary \meta{graphical code} can be added to a
|tcolorbox|. This code is executed \emph{after} the frame and interior are
drawn and \emph{before} the text content is drawn. Therefore, you can
decorate the |tcolorbox| with your own extensions.
Common special cases are \emph{watermarks} which are implemented using overlays.
See Subsection \ref{subsec:watermarks} from page \pageref{subsec:watermarks} if
you want to add \emph{watermarks}.
\begin{marker}
If you use the core package only, the \meta{graphical code} has to be |pgf| code
and there is not much assistance for positioning.
Therefore, the usage of the \refKey{/tcb/enhanced} mode from the library skins
is recommended which allows |tikz| code and gives access to
\refKey{/tcb/geometry nodes} for positioning.
\end{marker}

\begin{docTcbKey}{overlay}{=\meta{graphical code}}{no default, initially unset}
  Adds \meta{graphical code} to the box drawing process. This \meta{graphical code}
  is drawn \emph{after} the frame and interior and \emph{before} the text content.

\subsection{Floating Objects}
\begin{docTcbKey}{floatplacement}{=\meta{values}}{no default, initially \texttt{htb}}
  Sets \meta{values} as default values for the usage of \refKey{/tcb/float}
  and \refKey{/tcb/float*}.
  Feasible are the usual parameters for floating objects.
\begin{dispListing}
\tcbset{enhanced,colback=red!5!white,colframe=red!75!black,

\begin{tcolorbox}[floatplacement=t,float,
                  title=Floating box from |floatplacement|,
                  watermark text={I am floating}]
  This floating box is placed at the top of a page.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{dispListing}
\end{docTcbKey}
{\tcbusetemp}


\begin{docTcbKey}{float}{\colOpt{=\meta{values}}}{default from \texttt{floatplacement}}
  Turns the box to a floating object where \meta{values} are the
  usual parameters for such floating objects.
  If they are not used, the placement uses the default values given by
 |floatplacement|.
\begin{dispListing}
\begin{tcolorbox}[float, title=Floating box from |float|,
    enhanced,watermark text={I'm also floating}]
  This box floats to a feasible place automatically. You do not have to
  use a numbering for this floating object.

\begin{docTcbKey}{float*}{\colOpt{=\meta{values}}}{default from \texttt{floatplacement}}
  Identical to \refKey{/tcb/float}, but for wide boxes spanning the whole page
  width of two column documents or in conjunction with the packages
  |multicol| or |paracol|. Note that you have to set |width=\textwidth|
  additionally, if the box should span the whole page width in these cases!
\begin{dispListing}
\begin{tcolorbox}[float*=b, title=Floating box from |float*|,width=\textwidth,

  Turns the floating behavior off.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2014-09-19]{every float}{=\marg{code}}{no default, initially empty}
  For floating objects, the \refKey{/tcb/before} and \refKey{/tcb/after}
  settings are ignored. Instead, \refKey{/tcb/before float} and \refKey{/tcb/after float}
  can be used. Further, with \refKey{/tcb/every float}, the given \meta{code} is inserted before
  a floating box. If the box is \refKey{/tcb/breakable}, the given \meta{code} is
  inserted before every part of the break sequence.
  The most common use case is |every float=\centering|.

    {
      doc name        = after float,
    }
  }
  For floating objects, the \refKey{/tcb/before} and \refKey{/tcb/after}
  settings are ignored. Code can be inserted after the begin of the float
  environment and before \refKey{/tcb/every float} with
  \refKey{/tcb/before float} and between the end of the box and the end
  of the float environment with \refKey{/tcb/after float}.
  \begin{marker}
  These options are not compatible with \refKey{/tcb/breakable} floating objects
  and are ignored, if the box is set to be breakable.

Before version 4.40, the default setting for \refKey{/tcb/before}
and \refKey{/tcb/after} was given by \refKey{/tcb/autoparskip}.
Starting with version 4.40, the default setting is given by
\refKey{/tcb/before skip balanced} and \refKey{/tcb/after skip balanced}.\par
Note that old documents may need adaptions of page breaks.\par
Alternatively, the old default setting can be restored by using
\begin{dispListing}
\tcbsetforeverylayer{autoparskip}
\end{dispListing}
inside the document preamble.
\end{marker}


\begin{docTcbKey}{before}{=\meta{code}}{no default, initially see \refKey{/tcb/before skip balanced}}
  Sets the \meta{code} which is executed before the colored box.
  It is not used for floating boxes.
  Also, it is not used, if the box follows a heading immediately
  and \refKey{/tcb/ignore nobreak} is set to \docValue{false}.
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}{after}{=\meta{code}}{no default, initially see \refKey{/tcb/after skip balanced}}
  Sets the \meta{code} which is executed after the colored box.
  It is not used for floating boxes.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}{nobeforeafter}{}{style, no value}
  Abbreviation for clearing the keys |before| and |after|. The colored box
  is not put into a paragraph and there is no space before or after the box.
\begin{exdispExample}{nobeforeafter}
\tcbset{myone/.style={colback=LightGreen,colframe=DarkGreen,
  equal height group=nobefaf,width=\linewidth/4,nobeforeafter}}

\end{exdispExample}
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}{force nobeforeafter}{}{style, no value}
  Forces the setting of \refKey{/tcb/nobeforeafter} even if
  \refKey{/tcb/before} and \refKey{/tcb/after} are set to other values
  later. Do not use this option globally unless you \emph{really} know what you do.
  Note that embedded boxes do not inherit this forced clearance.

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2014-12-11]{ignore nobreak}{\colOpt{=true\textbar false}}{default |true|, initially |false|}
After a heading, \LaTeX\ tries to avoid a break by setting a |nobreak| boolean value.
Starting from version |3.33|, the \refKey{/tcb/before} respectively \refKey{/tcb/before skip}
settings are not used after a heading if \refKey{/tcb/ignore nobreak} is
set to \docValue{false}. For an unbreakable box, \refKey{/tcb/before nobreak} is used instead.
Further, a \refKey{/tcb/breakable} box will also try to
avoid a break between a heading and a directly following first part of a
break sequence.

Set \refKey{/tcb/ignore nobreak} to \docValue{true}, if |nobreak| should be
ignored as prior to version |3.33|. Also, such a setting may be used locally to
enforce the \refKey{/tcb/before} setting.

  \refKey{/tcb/parskip},
  \refKey{/tcb/noparskip},

\subsection{Bounding Box}
Normally, every |tcolorbox| has a bounding box which fits exactly to the
dimensions of the outer frame. Therefore, \LaTeX\ reserves exactly the space
needed for the box.
This behavior can be changed by enlarging (or shrinking) the bounding box.
If the bounding box is enlarged, the |tcolorbox| will get some clearance
around it. If the bounding box is shrunk, i.\,e.\ enlarged with negative
values, the |tcolorbox| will overlap to other parts of the page.
For example, the |tcolorbox| could be stretched into the page margin.

\begin{marker}
The following examples use \refKey{/tcb/show bounding box} to display the
actual bounding box. For this, the library \mylib{skins} has to be included and
\refKey{/tcb/enhanced} has to be set.
\end{marker}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item\docValue{none}: no switching.
  \item\docValue{forced}: the values of the left and right enlargement are switched.
  \item\docValue{evenpage}: if the page is an even page, the values of the left and
    right enlargement are switched. This value also sets
    \refKey{/tcb/check odd page} to |true|.

\subsection{Layered Boxes and Every Box Settings}\label{subsec:everybox}
A |tcolorbox| may contain another |tcolorbox| and so on. The package
takes track of the nesting level using a counter |tcblayer|. Counter values
may be used for doing some fancy things, but you should never change
the counter value yourself.

The package takes special care for the first four layers or nesting levels,
called managed layers.
Here, footnote texts are administrated to find their intended place
and specific layer dependent options may be set by changing
\refKey{/tcb/every box on layer n}.
If needed, the number of managed layers can be increased by setting
\refCom{tcbsetmanagedlayers} to a higher value than~4.

The following styles have a considerable influence on how layered boxes
are processed. Note especially that nested boxes are getting a
\refKey{/tcb/reset} by default. You can change this, but be prepared for
surprises if you do.

If the defaults are \emph{not changed}, a |tcolorbox| gets its options
in the following order. Following options overwrite preceding options.
\begin{enumerate}
\item On package load, all options are set to default values.
\item Every \refCom{tcbset} command adds or changes options for the following boxes
  inside the current \TeX\ group.
\item While entering a |tcolorbox|, a \refKey{/tcb/every box on layer n} or
  \refKey{/tcb/every box on higher layers} option list is applied.
  With default settings this means:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item For layer 1 (lowest layer), the \refKey{/tcb/every box} option list is applied.
    Not overwritten options given by a preceding \refCom{tcbset} survive.
  \item For layer 2 and above (nested boxes), a \refKey{/tcb/reset} followed by
    \refKey{/tcb/every box} option list is applied.
    Every resettable options given by a preceding \refCom{tcbset}
    and by the surrounding box(es) are reset.
  \end{itemize}
\item The \meta{options} given to the |tcolorbox| are applied.
  Or, if the box was generated by \refCom{newtcolorbox} or friends,
  the \meta{options} given there are applied.
\item If the box was generated by \refCom{newtcolorbox} or friends,
  some automated options are applied.
\end{enumerate}


\begin{docTcbKey}{every box}{}{style}
By default, this style is empty.
\begin{dispListing}
% default setting:
\tcbset{every box/.style={}}

% default setting:
\tcbset{every box on higher layers/.style={reset,every box}}

\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docCommand}{tcbsetmanagedlayers}{\marg{number}}

\subsection{Capture Mode}\label{subsec:capture}

\begin{docTcbKey}{capture}{=\meta{mode}}{no default, initially |minipage|}
  The capture \meta{mode} defines how the box content is processed.

Feasible values for \meta{mode} are:
\begin{itemize}
\item\docValue{minipage}:\\
  This is the default \meta{mode} for \refEnv{tcolorbox}.
  The content may have an upper and a lower part. Optionally, the box
  can be \refKey{/tcb/breakable}. The box content is put into a
  minipage or into something similar to a minipage.
\item\docValue{hbox}:\\
  This is the default \meta{mode} for \refCom{tcbox}. The content cannot have
  a lower part and cannot be broken. The colored box is sized according
  to the dimensions of the content.
  A shortcut to set this mode is \refKey{/tcb/hbox}.
\item\docValue{fitbox}: (needs the \mylib{fitting} library)\\
  This is the default \meta{mode} for \refCom{tcboxfit}. The content cannot have
  a lower part and cannot be broken.
  The content is sized according to the dimensions of the colored box.
  A shortcut to set this mode is \refKey{/tcb/fit}.

\subsection{Text Characteristics}
\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc updated=2024-01-10]{parbox}{\colOpt{=true\textbar false}}{default |true|, initially |true|}
  The text inside a |tcolorbox| is formatted using a \LaTeX\ |minipage|
  if the box is unbreakable. If breakable, the box tries a mimicry of
  a |minipage|. In a |minipage| or |parbox|, paragraphs are formatted slightly different
  as the main text. If the key value is set to |false|, the normal main text
  behavior is restored. In some situations, this has some unwanted side
  effects. It is recommended that you use this \textbf{experimental setting} only
  where you really want to have this feature.

%\subsection{Skins}
%There are additional option keys which change the appearance of a |tcolorbox|.
%If only the core package is used, there is only one \emph{skin} and these
%keys are meaningless.
%The library \mylib{skins} adds more skins. The appropriate option keys for skins of
%the core package are therefore described in \Vref{sec:skincorekeys} from
%page \pageref{sec:skincorekeys}.

\subsection{Counters, Labels, and References}

\begin{docTcbKey}{phantom}{=\meta{code}}{no default, initially unset}
The \meta{code} is put in a box at the upper left corner of the |tcolorbox|.
If the |tcolorbox| is breakable, the \meta{code} is executed for the first box of
the break sequence only. If there already was some phantom code given, the
new \meta{code} is appended.\par
The \meta{code} is intended to be used for counter stepping, labelling, and
related operations which do not produce visible text.
\begin{itemize}
\item The \meta{code} is executed before the title and box content, i.\,e.\ counter
  values are ensured to be increased before usage.
\item Labels are ensured to reference the correct page number.
\item The \meta{code} is executed only once even during fitting operations for
  title and box content.
\item In combination with the \refPkg{hyperref} package, the hyper anchor is set
  to the upper left corner of the |tcolorbox|, i.\,e.\ links inside the pdf document
  will jump to the box pleasantly.
\item Since the \meta{code} is executed inside a \TeX\ group, only global
  operations can survive this group.
\end{itemize}
Examples for the |phantom| usage are given in Section \ref{listing:exercises}
from page \pageref{listing:exercises}, e.\,g.\
Example \ref{exe:tabular_example} on page \pageref{exe:tabular_example}.
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}{nophantom}{}{no value, initially set}
Removes the phantom code if set before.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2023-02-08]{label is label}{}{no value, initially set}
Sets |\label| as labelling for |tcolorbox| (global or per box).
When \refKey{/tcb/label} and friends are used, the underlying labeling macro is |\label|.
References can be made by |\ref|, |\pageref|, and similar macros. This is the
default \LaTeX\ behaviour.
Note that this option is not getting reset by \refKey{/tcb/reset}.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2023-02-08]{label is zlabel}{}{no value, initially unset}
Sets |\zlabel| as labelling for |tcolorbox| (global or per box).
When \refKey{/tcb/label} and friends are used, the underlying labeling macro is |\zlabel|.
This needs the \refPkg{zref} package \cite{oberdiek:zref} or packages building upon \refPkg{zref} to be loaded.
References can be made by |\zref|. If the \refPkg{zref-clever} package \cite{barros:zref-clever} is loaded,
|\zcref|, |\zcpageref|, and similar macros can be applied.
Note that this option is not getting reset by \refKey{/tcb/reset}.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc updated=2023-02-08]{label}{=\meta{marker}}{no default, initially unset}
The \meta{marker} is set as label text with |\label| for a reference with the |\ref| macro,
if \refKey{/tcb/label is label} is active,
or as label text with |\zlabel| for a reference with the |\zref| macro and similar,
if \refKey{/tcb/label is zlabel} is active.
Typically, this option is used for numbered boxes, see Subsection \ref{sec:numberedboxes}
from page \pageref{sec:numberedboxes}, e.\,g.\ \refKey{/tcb/new/auto counter}.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2014-11-28]{phantomlabel}{=\meta{marker}}{no default, initially unset}
Equivalent to \refKey{/tcb/label} for an \emph{unnumbered} box.
A |\phantomsection| from the package \refPkg{hyperref} \cite{rahtz:hyperref} is used to set a correct
hyperlink target.
This is not needed and should typically not be used for a numbered box.
\end{docTcbKey}

\clearpage

\begin{docTcbKey}{step}{=\meta{counter}}{no default, initially unset}
Shortcut for |phantom={\refstepcounter{#1}}|. The given \meta{counter} is
increased and ready for labelling. This option is not needed when
using the convenient automated numbering introduced with version 2.40,
see Subsection \ref{sec:numberedboxes}
from page \pageref{sec:numberedboxes}.
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}{step and label}{=\marg{counter}\marg{marker}}{no default, initially unset}
Shortcut for using \refKey{/tcb/step} and \refKey{/tcb/label}. This option is not needed when
using the convenient automated numbering introduced with version 2.40,
see Subsection \ref{sec:numberedboxes}
from page \pageref{sec:numberedboxes}.
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc updated=2024-10-22]{label type}{=\meta{type}}{no default, initially unset}
This option has a different meaning based upon the chosen labeling mechanism.
\begin{itemize}
\item If \refKey{/tcb/label is label} is active:\par
  The option key \refKey{/tcb/label type} can be used in conjunction with the \refPkg{cleveref} package
  \cite{cubitt:2018a} or the \refPkg{zref-clever} package \cite{barros:zref-clever}
  which have to be loaded separately.
  \meta{type} has to be a cross-reference type \emph{known} to |cleveref|
  like |theorem|, |algorithm|, |result|, etc. References made with |cleveref|
  will use this type. For an example, see \Vref{theo:meanvaluetheorem}.
  Recent versions of \refPkg{zref-clever} also work with \refKey{/tcb/label is label}
  and \refKey{/tcb/label type} can be used as described below for \refKey{/tcb/label is zlabel}.
\item If \refKey{/tcb/label is zlabel} is active:\par
  The option key \refKey{/tcb/label type} can be used only in conjunction with the
  \refPkg{zref-clever} package \cite{barros:zref-clever}
  which has to be loaded separately.
  \meta{type} has to be a cross-reference type \emph{known} to |zref-clever|.
  This \meta{type} is bound to an automatic |tcolorbox| counter which has to be set up using
  \refKey{/tcb/new/auto counter},
  \refKey{/tcb/new/use counter from},
  \refKey{/tcb/new/use counter}, or
  \refKey{/tcb/new/use counter*}.
  If \refKey{/tcb/label is zlabel} is set, but |zref-clever| is not loaded,
  using |zref-clever countertype| will be silently ignored.
\end{itemize}
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc updated=2023-02-09]{no label type}{}{no value, initially set}
Removes a \refKey{/tcb/label type}, if set before.

\clearpage
\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new and updated={2016-06-22}{2023-02-08}]{nameref}{=\meta{text}}{no default, initially unset}
If the \refPkg{nameref} package is loaded, the given \meta{text} is used for
corresponding |\nameref| macros.
If the \refPkg{zref-titleref} package is loaded, the given \meta{text} is used to
set the reference text for |\ztitleref|.
Typically, the \meta{text} will be chosen
to be identical or nearly identical to the one for \refKey{/tcb/title}.

\inputpreamblelisting{A}

\begin{dispExample}
\begin{pabox}[label={mynamelabel},nameref={Title or anything else}]{Title text}

\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2022-07-18]{short title}{=\meta{text}}{style, no default}
Sets both \refKey{/tcb/list entry} and \refKey{/tcb/nameref} to \meta{text}.
The most likely use case is to set a \emph{short title} for the
\flqq list of tcolorbox(es)\frqq\ and for box referencing.
\end{docTcbKey}


\clearpage
\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2017-02-03]{hypertarget}{=\meta{marker}}{no default, initially unset}
A |\hypertarget| from the package \refPkg{hyperref} \cite{rahtz:hyperref} is used to
create an internal link of an anchor \meta{marker}.
This \meta{marker} can be referenced by |\hyperlink| or
\refKey{/tcb/hyperlink}.
  \begin{dispExample*}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.7}
% \usepackage{hyperref}%

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2017-02-10]{bookmark}{=\meta{text}}{no default, initially unset}
  Sets a PDF bookmark with the given \meta{text}, if the package \refPkg{bookmark} \cite{oberdiek:bookmark}
  is loaded. This bookmark is set with an automated destination (the current box)
  and is set one level below the current bookmark level.

  \end{dispExample*}
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2017-02-10]{bookmark*}{=\marg{options}\marg{text}}{no default, initially unset}
  Identical to \refKey{/tcb/bookmark}, but additional \meta{options}

\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2018-07-26]{index*}{=\marg{name}\marg{entry}}{no default, initially unset}
  Adds an \meta{entry} to an index with a specific \meta{name}.
  This is a shortcut for

\subsection{Even and Odd Pages}

\begin{marker}
Also see
\refKey{/tcb/toggle left and right} and
\refKey{/tcb/toggle enlargement}
for further even/odd options.
\end{marker}

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc updated=2015-11-13]{check odd page}{\colOpt{=true\textbar false}}{default |true|, initially |false|}
If set to |true|, a precise even/odd page testing for the current box
is applied. This is done by using labels. If a box moves to another page,
the document has to be compiled twice for the correct settings.
If set to |false|, even/odd page tests may give wrong results for the first box
of a page.

\refKey{/tcb/toggle left and right},
\refKey{/tcb/toggle enlargement}, and
\refKey{/tcb/if odd page}
automatically set |check odd page|, but for
\refCom{tcbifoddpage} this option has to be set explicitly.
\end{docTcbKey}

\enlargethispage*{1cm}
\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2015-11-13]{if odd page}{=\marg{odd options}\marg{even options}}{style, no default}
If the current box is on an odd page, the \meta{odd options} are applied.
On an even page, the \meta{even options} are applied.
\refKey{/tcb/check odd page} is automatically set for precise even/odd page testing.

\begin{dispExample}
\begin{tcolorbox}[if odd page={colback=yellow!50}{colback=red!50}]
  This box is colored in yellow on an odd page
  and is colored in red on an even page.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{dispExample}

\begin{marker}
If a box is \refKey{/tcb/breakable}, using \refKey{/tcb/if odd page}
only acts upon the \emph{first} box. If the setting should be
repeated for every partial box of the break sequence, the option should be
packed into \refKey{/tcb/extras}. In this case, \refKey{/tcb/check odd page}
has to be set explicitly! Also see \refKey{/tcb/if odd page*}.
\end{marker}
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-11-18]{if odd page or oneside}{=\marg{odd options}\marg{even options}}{style, no default}
  For onesided documents, the \meta{odd options} are applied always.
  For twosided documents, this style is identical to \refKey{/tcb/if odd page}.
\end{docTcbKey}


\clearpage
\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2015-11-13]{if odd page*}{=\marg{odd options}\marg{even options}}{style, no default}
\begin{marker}
This option needs the \mylib{breakable} library, see \Fullref{sec:breakable}.
\end{marker}
For breakable boxes, if the current partial box is on an odd page, the \meta{odd options} are applied.
On an even page, the \meta{even options} are applied.
\refKey{/tcb/check odd page} is automatically set for precise even/odd page testing.

In contrast to \refKey{/tcb/if odd page}, \refKey{/tcb/if odd page*} is used
on \emph{every} partial box of a break sequences and not only on the
\emph{first} box. Another difference is that \refKey{/tcb/if odd page*}
is applied quite \emph{late} during option processing, while
\refKey{/tcb/if odd page} is applied immediately.

\refKey{/tcb/if odd page*} is implemented as \refKey{/tcb/if odd page}
packed into \refKey{/tcb/extras}.

\begin{dispExample}
% \tcbuselibrary{breakable}
\begin{tcolorbox}[breakable,if odd page*={colback=yellow!50}{colback=red!50}]
  This breakable box is colored in yellow on an odd page
  and is colored in red on an even page. For every partial box, the
  test is repeated, i.e. this would give a yellow, red, yellow, red, \ldots\
  sequence for a long content.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{dispExample}
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-11-18]{if odd page or oneside*}{=\marg{odd options}\marg{even options}}{style, no default}
  For onesided documents, the \meta{odd options} are applied always.
  For twosided documents, this style is identical to \refKey{/tcb/if odd page*}.
\end{docTcbKey}


\clearpage
\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2015-11-13]{tcbifoddpage}{\marg{odd code}\marg{even code}}
If the current box is on an odd page, the \meta{odd code} is executed.
On an even page, the \meta{even code} is executed.
For precise even/odd page testing, the \refKey{/tcb/check odd page} has to be
set manually inside the box options.

The macro \refCom{tcbifoddpage} can be used inside underlay, overlay, or watermark code to
test if the box is on an odd page. This will work also for boxes in a break sequence.

The macro can also be used inside the box \textbf{content text}. For unbreakable boxes,
the correct page test is applied.
But for \refKey{/tcb/breakable} boxes, \refCom{tcbifoddpage}
will always give the result for the page of the \emph{first} box inside
the box \textbf{content text}. If needed, the methods from the packages
|changepage| or |ifoddpage| could be used here.
%To mention it again, for overlays, watermarks, etc, \refCom{tcbifoddpage} gives
%the correct page test.

\begin{dispExample}
\tcbset{colframe=blue!75!black,colback=white,fonttitle=\bfseries}

\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,check odd page,
  title={Example for a box on an \tcbifoddpage{odd}{even} page},
  watermark text={\tcbifoddpage{Odd}{Even} page!}]
\lipsum[1]
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{dispExample}
\end{docCommand}


\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2016-11-18]{tcbifoddpageoroneside}{\marg{odd code}\marg{even code}}
  For onesided documents, the \meta{odd code} is executed always.
  For twosided documents, this macro is identical to \refCom{tcbifoddpage}.
\end{docCommand}

\clearpage
\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2015-11-13]{thetcolorboxnumber}{}
This is a unique identifier (arabic number) for a tcolorbox. It is locally
defined inside boxes and has no meaning outside. It is used for
precise even/odd page testing, but may also be valuable for elaborate user
code.

\begin{dispExample}
\begin{tcolorbox}[colback=yellow!5,title=Box \thetcolorboxnumber]
  This box is \thetcolorboxnumber.
  \tcbox[on line,size=fbox]{This box is \thetcolorboxnumber} and
  \tcbox[on line,size=fbox]{this box is \thetcolorboxnumber}.
  This box is \thetcolorboxnumber.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{dispExample}
\end{docCommand}


\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2015-11-13]{thetcolorboxpage}{}
This macro contains the expanded arabic page number of the current tcolorbox.
It is locally defined inside boxes and has no meaning outside.
It is precise only, if \refKey{/tcb/check odd page} was set.

\begin{dispExample}
\begin{tcolorbox}[colback=yellow!5,check odd page,
    title=Box on page~\thetcolorboxpage]
  This box is located on page~\thetcolorboxpage.

\subsection{Externalization}
\begin{marker}
See \Fullref{sec:external} for the \mylib{external} library of |tcolorbox|.
\end{marker}

If the \emph{externalization} library of the \refPkg{tikz} package is used,
a |tcolorbox| could trigger the externalization process which will arise
a compilation error.

To avoid this, there are two possible strategies:
\begin{itemize}
\item Ensure, that |\tikzexternaldisable| is set before a |tcolorbox| is used.
  If you typically use the pattern |\tikzexternalenable| \textit{some picture} |\tikzexternaldisable|,
  there is nothing to care about.
\item If \emph{externalization} is enabled globally, use \refKey{/tcb/shield externalize} to
  shield any |tcolorbox|. The preamble code could look like this:
\begin{dispListing}
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize
\tcbset{shield externalize}
\end{dispListing}
\end{itemize}

\begin{docTcbKey}{shield externalize}{\colOpt{=true\textbar false}}{default |true|, initially |false|}
If set to |true|, the drawing part of the |tcolorbox| is not being externalized
which is a good thing at the current state of art. Nevertheless, if the
|tcolorbox| contains a |tikzpicture|, this picture is still externalized.
Pictures drawn with help of \refKey{/tcb/tikz upper} or alike are \emph{not}
externalized.
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{marker}
If a |tcolorbox| is used inside a node of an encircling |tikzpicture| which is externalized,
do \emph{not} use |\tikzexternaldisable| in front of the |tcolorbox|.
\refKey{/tcb/shield externalize} is deactivated automatically inside a |tikzpicture|.
\end{marker}

\begin{marker}
\refKey{/tcb/shield externalize} is applied for every following |tcolorbox|
inside the current \TeX\ group and is not affected by \refKey{/tcb/reset}.
\end{marker}

\begin{docTcbKey}{external}{=\meta{file name}}{no default, initially unset}
  Convenience option which calls |\tikzsetnextfilename|\marg{file name}. Typically,
  it may be used inside the option list of a |tcolorbox| to set the
  externalization \meta{file name} for the first |tikzpicture| which is discovered
  \emph{inside} the box content.
  The package \refPkg{tikz} \cite{tantau:tikz_and_pgf} or the library \mylib{skins} has to be loaded to use this option.
  Additionally, |\usetikzlibrary{external}| has to be used.
\end{docTcbKey}

\begin{docTcbKey}{remake}{\colOpt{=true\textbar false}}{default |true|, initially |false|}
  Convenience option which calls |/tikz/external/remake next|. Typically,
  it may be used inside the option list of a |tcolorbox| to force the remake
  of the first |tikzpicture| which is discovered \emph{inside} the box content.
  The package \refPkg{tikz} \cite{tantau:tikz_and_pgf} or the library \mylib{skins} has to be loaded to use this option.
  Additionally, |\usetikzlibrary{external}| has to be used.
\end{docTcbKey}


\clearpage
\subsection{Miscellaneous}
\begin{docTcbKey}{reset}{}{no value, initially set}
Sets (nearly) all |tcolorbox| settings (including loaded libraries) back to their default values
\emph{plus} any settings given by \refCom{tcbsetforeverylayer}.
\refKey{/tcb/savedelimiter}, \refKey{/tcb/capture}, and
\refKey{/tcb/shield externalize} keep their values.
Also, all raster values (see \Vref{sec:raster}) are not reset.

This option is useful for boxes in boxes where the inner box should not inherit
the settings of the outer box.
Note that for boxes inside boxes the |reset| is done automatically, if the
standard settings of the package are used (v2.40 and above), see
Section \ref{subsec:everybox} from page \pageref{subsec:everybox}.
%See \refCom{tcbhighmath} for an example.
\end{docTcbKey}




\begin{docTcbKey}{code}{=\meta{code}}{no default, initially unset}
  The given \meta{code} is executed immediately. This option is useful
  to place some arbitrary code into an option list.
\begin{exdispExample}{code}
\tcbset{colback=red!5!white,colframe=red!75!black,
  code={Useless at this spot but functional.},
  fonttitle=\bfseries}

\begin{tcolorbox}[code={\newcommand{\mycommand}{\textit{working}}},

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-10-21]{void}{}{no value, initially unset}
  Annihilates the current |tcolorbox| as far as possible.
  Basically, this comments out the whole |tcolorbox| by using a key.
  If the option list of the current |tcolorbox| contains arbitrary code with global
  impact (like counter settings), these actions are not undone automatically.
  Nevertheless, the effects of \refKey{/tcb/phantom}, \refKey{/tcb/step},
  \refKey{/tcb/new/auto counter}, etc., are removed by \refKey{/tcb/void}.

\begin{exdispExample}{void}
A%
  \begin{tcolorbox}[
      title=This box is completely removed by the following key,
      void
    ]
  This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
  \end{tcolorbox}
B
\end{exdispExample}

\begin{marker}
  This option key cannot be applied for every situation.
  For example, if several box environments with the same environment name
  are nested, for the outer environment \refKey{/tcb/void} cannot be used,
  since the end of the inner environment will be misinterpreted as
  end of the outer environment. Also, \refKey{/tcb/void} cannot be used
  for environments wrapped with \refCom{tcolorboxenvironment}.
\end{marker}
\end{docTcbKey}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2019-03-01]{nirvana}{}{no value, initially unset}
  The contents of the current |tcolorbox| are processed including counter
  settings, but the box is just not drawn.
  Therefore, \refKey{/tcb/nirvana} is less radical than \refKey{/tcb/void}
  and several box environments can be nested without problems.

\begin{exdispExample}{nirvana}
A%
  \begin{tcolorbox}[
      title=This box is completely removed by the following key,
      nirvana
    ]
  This is a \textbf{tcolorbox}.
    \begin{tcolorbox}
    Nested Box
    \end{tcolorbox}
  \end{tcolorbox}%
