`tcolorbox` provides an environment for colored and framed text boxes with a
heading line. Optionally, such a box can be split in an upper and a lower
part. The package `tcolorbox` can be used for the setting of *LaTeX* examples where
one part of the box displays the source code and the other part shows the
output. Another common use case is the setting of theorems. The package supports
saving and reuse of source code and text parts.
