I am trying to replicate the code used in this answer

And I am having trouble understanding the following code.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[framemethod=tikz]{mdframed}
\usepackage{lipsum}

%   Principal MPD frame type
\mdfdefinestyle{mpdframe}{
    frametitlebackgroundcolor   =black!15,
    frametitlerule          =true,
        roundcorner     =10pt,
        middlelinewidth     =1pt,
        innermargin     =0.5cm,
        outermargin     =0.5cm,
        innerleftmargin     =0.5cm,
        innerrightmargin        =0.5cm,
        innertopmargin      =\topskip,
        innerbottommargin   =\topskip,
            }
%   Studies
\mdfdefinestyle{studies}{%
        style=mpdframe,
        frametitle={Studies},
    }
\newmdenv[style=studies]{studies}


\begin{document}


\begin{studies}
\lipsum[1]
\end{studies}
\end{document}

Firstly, what does innertopmargin=topskip means And secondly, why the framemethod has to be tikz instead? The answerer said that the tikz is used but where?

  • mdframed can draw frames with Latex commands (e.g., \rule), or with TikZ, or with PSTricks. You choose, and it loads the required packages. For the margins, Figure 2: adjustable lengths of mdframed in the manual (texdoc mdframed) illustrates them. – Cicada Nov 13 '20 at 07:51
  • "\topskip Minimum distance between the top of the page body and the baseline of the first line of text." - from the manual (texdoc latex2e). – Cicada Nov 13 '20 at 07:58
