mdframed: size frame to content

Question

Consider this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[framemethod=TikZ]{mdframed}

\begin{document}
\begin{mdframed}[innerrightmargin=0pt]
TEXT\end{mdframed}
\end{document}

This produces a frame that is much wider than its content:

I know this is not a bug: the mdframed documentation mentions a userdefinedwidth parameter that defaults to \linewidth. But how can I get a mdframed frame that has the same width as its content?

(What I actually need is a box with rounded corners and shading options; breaking over multiple pages isn't necessary. mdframed seemed like the easiest way to get the box, but if it's too much hassle to make it size to content, it would be useful to know so I can try pure tikz.)

Answer 1

How about just creating a command using a tikz node, something like

\newcommand{\myboxedtext}[2][rectangle,draw,fill=orange,rounded corners]{%
            \tikz[baseline=-0.6ex] \node [#1,rounded corners]{#2};}%

This has an optional argument, which can be used as demonstrated in the following MWE.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newcommand{\myboxedtext}[2][rectangle,draw,fill=orange,rounded corners]{%
        \tikz[baseline=-0.6ex] \node [#1,rounded corners]{#2};}%

\begin{document}
\myboxedtext{boxed text here}
\lipsum[1]

\myboxedtext[fill=red,text=yellow]{boxed text here}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
