How to create Highlight Boxes in LaTeX?

Question

I am writing an Article in LaTeX.

Please suggest me how to create a highlight boxes like the ones shown below in LaTeX:

Answer 1

You can use the bclogo and/or mdframed packages; a little example:

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

\definecolor{bgblue}{RGB}{245,243,253}
\definecolor{ttblue}{RGB}{91,194,224}

\mdfdefinestyle{mystyle}{%
rightline=true,innerleftmargin=10,innerrightmargin=10,
outerlinewidth=3pt,topline=false,rightline=true,bottomline=false,
skipabove=\topsep,skipbelow=\topsep
}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand\bcStyleTitre[1]{\large\textcolor{ttblue}{#1}}
\begin{bclogo}[couleur=bgblue, arrondi =0 , logo=\bcbombe, barre=none,noborder=true]{Commom Programming Error}
\itshape\lipsum[4]
\end{bclogo}

\begin{mdframed}[style=mystyle,frametitle={Web addresses in text}]
\lipsum[4]
\end{mdframed}

\end{document}

Both packages offer you many customization possibilities and the documentations contain numerous examples.

For the second framed box, here's another option using TikZ:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{environ}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[tikz]{bclogo}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\NewEnviron{myremark}[1]
  {\par\medskip\noindent
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \node[inner sep=0pt] (box) {\parbox[t]{.99\textwidth}{%
      \begin{minipage}{.3\textwidth}
      \centering\tikz[scale=5]\node[scale=3,rotate=30]{\bclampe};
      \end{minipage}%
      \begin{minipage}{.65\textwidth}
      \textbf{#1}\par\smallskip
      \BODY
      \end{minipage}\hfill}%
    };
    \draw[red!75!black,line width=3pt] 
      ( $ (box.north east) + (-5pt,3pt) $ ) -- ( $ (box.north east) + (0,3pt) $ ) -- ( $ (box.south east) + (0,-3pt) $ ) -- + (-5pt,0);
    \draw[red!75!black,line width=3pt] 
      ( $ (box.north west) + (5pt,3pt) $ ) -- ( $ (box.north west) + (0,3pt) $ ) -- ( $ (box.south west) + (0,-3pt) $ ) -- + (5pt,0);
  \end{tikzpicture}\par\medskip%
}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[4]
\begin{myremark}{Web addresses in texts}
\lipsum[4]
\end{myremark}
\lipsum[4]

\end{document}

Here an example using mdframed whereby the symbols are taken from the package dingbat Instead of the symbols you can use every picture.

\documentclass{report} 
\usepackage[framemethod=tikz]{mdframed}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}

\usepackage{dingbat}%\eye and \leftpointright

\newcounter{error}[chapter]
\renewcommand*\theerror{\thechapter.\arabic{error}}
\tikzset{
errorsymbol/.style={%
    rectangle,draw=blue,
   ,scale=2,overlay}}

\tikzset{
 lampsymbol/.style={%
   ,scale=2,overlay}}

\newmdenv[hidealllines=true,backgroundcolor=blue!5,%
 frametitle={\stepcounter{error}Comman~Programming~Error~\theerror},
 frametitlefont=\color{blue!80!black}\bfseries,
 skipabove=\topsep,skipbelow=\topsep,nobreak,
 leftmargin=.3cm,rightmargin=.3cm, innerleftmargin=2cm,
 singleextra={\path let \p1=(P), \p2=(O) in ($(\x2,0)+0.5*(2,\y1)$) node[errorsymbol] {\eye};},%
]{error}


\newmdenv[nobreak,middlelinewidth=.8pt,
 frametitlefont=\bfseries,
 leftmargin=.3cm,rightmargin=.3cm, innerleftmargin=2cm,
 skipabove=\topsep,skipbelow=\topsep,
 singleextra={\path let \p1=(P), \p2=(O) in ($(\x2,0)+0.5*(2,\y1)$) node[ lampsymbol] {\leftpointright};
                          \draw[line width=.8pt,white,] ($(O|-P)+(.2cm,0)$) -- ($(P)-(.2cm,0)$); 
                          \draw[line width=.8pt,white,] ($(O)+(.2cm,0)$) -- ($(P|-O)-(.2cm,0)$);
    },%
]{lamp}

\begin{document}
\begin{error}
Use only uppercase letters in the names of enumeration constants to make these
constants stand out in a program and to indicate that enumeration constants
are variables.
\end{error}

\begin{lamp}[frametitle={Web addresses in texts}]
Use only uppercase letters in the names of enumeration constants to make these
constants stand out in a program and to indicate that enumeration constants
are variables.
\end{lamp}
\end{document}

It will most likely have to remain as a box that does not break across page boundaries. As such, a traditional "equation" with an image and a text box, all contained in a tabular should do:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}% http://ctan.org/pkg/array
\usepackage{graphicx}% http://ctan.org/pkg/graphicx
\begin{document}
\[
  \left[
      \begin{tabular}{@{\quad}m{.3\textwidth}@{\qquad}m{.6\textwidth}@{\quad}}
        \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a} &
          \raggedright%
          \textbf{Web addresses in texts} \par
            There's a package called \texttt{url} designed for typesetting web addresses.
            Write \mbox{\texttt{\string\usepackage\string{url\string}}} in your preamble; this will provide the
            command \mbox{\texttt{\string\url}}. This command takes an address for the argument and
            will print it out with typewriter font. Furthermore, it is able to handle
            special characters in addresses like underscores and percent signs. It even
            enables hyphenation in addresses, which is useful for websites with a very
            long name.%
      \end{tabular}
    \right]
\]
