Please help me create the following box with the text as seen in the pic. I have written the following code and it comes out like this. But I am still not satisfied with the results and the outlook. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In order to achieve such a complex layout, many tricks from tcolorbox are needed:

• tcbraster
• raster multicolumn
• overlay with drawing the shifted vertical line to the segmentation line node
• using a special segmentation style

• sidebyside options

• Using the tabularx key of tcolorbox and some tricks to get the tables with rounded corners.

• A style for boxes that do not have a frame, called notcb
