expand width of tcolorbox for dynamic section titles in memoir latex












1















I am looking to use tcolorbox for styling dynamic section titles. My problem is that I want the box to span the entire width of the paragraph bellow it and have the text centred if possible. I've done my best to provide a MWE of my problem but I am pretty new to this so feel free to suggest changes to my example if needed.



The Code:



%!TeX encoding = utf8
documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside,openright,openbib,final]{memoir}
usepackage{luatextra}
usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames,svgnames]{xcolor}
usepackage[skins,most,listings,skins]{tcolorbox}
usepackage{lipsum} %for dummy text only
checkandfixthelayout

newtcbox{mybox}{
nobeforeafter
}
makepagestyle{MyBox}
makeheadstyles{MyBox}{
setsecheadstyle{mybox}
}
headstyles{MyBox}

begin{document}
section*{Introduction}
lipsum[2]
section*{Methods}
lipsum[1]
end{document}


Which gives:
