Is this possible to get a box like this?

Question

My requirement is need to get some text surrounded by a box like:

I tried with:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{tikz}

\usetikzlibrary{shadows}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\begin{tcolorbox}[drop shadow west,
enhanced,colback=white,colframe=black!10]
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{tcolorbox}


\end{document}

But the output not like that what I need. Please advise...

Suggestion gave by Ignasi (thanks a lot) was working fine in PDFLaTeX and XeLaTeX, but I'm in need of using LaTeX -> dvips -> Ps2PDF, please advise for this...

Answer 1

You can start looking at vignette tcolorbox library which allows to do inner fadings.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced, colback=white, frame hidden,
underlay vignette={draw method=clipped, size=3mm, semi fade in=gray, east size=1.5mm, south size=1mm}]
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{tcolorbox}

\end{document}

Update: Different fadings

It's possible to decide the color and fading style for every side of the box.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced, colback=white, frame hidden,
underlay vignette={draw method=clipped, size=3mm, semi fade in=gray, east size=1.5mm, south size=1mm}]
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{tcolorbox}

%semi fade in=gray, fixes fading for all four sides
%but `south style` and `east style` apply a particular fading
%
\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced, colback=white, frame hidden,
underlay vignette={draw method=clipped, size=3mm, semi fade in=gray, east size=1.5mm, south size=1mm, south style={gray!10!white, path fading=east},
east style={gray!10!white, path fading=south}}]
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{document}
