How to do calculations with a LaTeX counter in a newtcolorbox environment?












1














I created a course summary box. In order to distinguish the summaries by school year, I have put an optional argument that displays the latter in the upper left corner (highlighted in yellow on the screenshot).



enter image description here



To display this school year, I write a fraction in the optional argument, like this:



begin{resume}[$sfrac{2018}{2019}$]{chapitre 1}
tcbsubtitle{Définition}

lipsum[1]
end{resume}


In order to simplify the code and also to progress in LaTeX, I want to modify this argument to transmit only the year 2018, then automatically calculate the next school year and display the fraction 2018/2019.



To do this, I created a counter called annee,



%setcounter{annee}{#1}


but when I try to use it in a tcolorbox, I have this error:




! Missing endcsname
inserted.

          Well you can't set the counter in the middle of a key-val-list. But beside this you don't need a counter for this:



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{lipsum}
          usepackage{xfrac}
          usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}


          tcbset{titreresume/.style={boxed title style={colframe=black!15,colbacktitle=gray!75,
          leftrule=1.5mm,rightrule=1.5mm,toprule=1.5pt,bottom=0pt,boxsep=1pt}}}

          tcbset{soustitre/.style={subtitle style={colback=black!7,colframe=black!25,
          boxsep=1mm,fontupper={sffamilybfserieslargeselectfontcolor{black!63}}}}}

          newtcolorbox[auto counter]{resume}[2][0]{%
          minipage boxed title*=-106mm,
          before upper={textcolor{black!63}{sfrac{#1}{thenumexpr#1+1} hfill #2hfillthetcbcounter/pageref{nombre-de-page}}},
          titreresume,soustitre,colframe=black!25,colback=white,leftrule=3mm,rightrule=3mm,toprule=2pt,bottomrule=2pt,left=3pt,right=0pt,top=3mm,
          fonttitle=sffamilybfserieslarge,label={nombre-de-page},
          enhanced,nobeforeafter,lower separated=false,attach boxed title to top center={yshift=-3mm,xshift=-linewidth/5},
          title={normalsize Résumé}}

          begin{document}

          begin{resume}[2018]{chapitre 1}
          tcbsubtitle{Définition}

          lipsum[1]
          end{resume}

          newpage

          begin{resume}[2018]{chapitre 1}

          tcbsubtitle{Propriétés}
          lipsum[2]
          end{resume}
          end{document}
