I would like to frame the content of \part.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[left=1.8cm,right=1.8cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\newpage
\part{Cours}
\section{test part}
\end{document}

enter image description here

Do you have a fancy way to frame it ? Thanks

  • Welcome to TeX.SE. Clarification question: do you want to draw a frame around the word Cours, or around the words Première partie, or one frame around both, or a frame around everything in the part up to the next part (so including the section title and text below, i.e., the whole page until the following \part command)? – Marijn Nov 09 '22 at 10:31

One possible way to add a fancy frame is by using the tcolorbox package.

The size of the box will adjust to its content. It's pretty easy to change colors, text alignment, and other properties.

You can get a vanilla style using

\newtcbox{\partbox}[1][]{% vanilla style
    colback=white, colframe= black,
    sharp corners,
    tikznode= {align =left}, % text align <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    nobeforeafter,  tcbox raise base }

Option

Instead of modifying \@part you can define a new command \fpart and use e.g. as \fpart{Cours}

\newcommand{\fpart}[1]{%
    \refstepcounter{part}%
    \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\thepart\hspace{1em}#1}%
    \noindent\partbox{\normalfont\Large\bfseries \partname~\thepart \\[1ex] \huge \bfseries #1} 
    \markboth{}{}%
}

    Maybe good to mention that you can use this approach as well if you want a non-fancy frame, i.e., black line, no fill color, non-rounded corners, by changing the relevant tcbox options. – Marijn Nov 09 '22 at 19:46
  • Thank you for helping me ! – Tony Nov 10 '22 at 10:46
  • Hello it's me again. I have a new problem : my part title is too long to fit in one line. How can the command be modified to write this title in 2 or more lines ? – Tony Jan 09 '23 at 14:43
