Thank you @marmot it works as expected but I get some errors in overleaf: Undefined control sequence (line 43), Package pgf Error: No shape named aux is known. (line 46) Should I worry about them?
– Rod
Dec 1 at 19:53

@Rod Most likely overleaf does not yet have the latest version of tikzmark in it, in which the command tikzmarknode is defined. I will add a solution that should work with the old version of tikzmark.
– marmot
Dec 1 at 19:55

@Rod I added a version without tikzmarknode. Could you please check if it works on overleaf (I never use overleaf)?
– marmot
Dec 1 at 19:59

It works like a charm. It seems I had some issue with the new macro ikzmarknode. Thank you again.

@Rod I added a version without tikzmarknode. Could you please check if it works on overleaf (I never use overleaf)?

It works like a charm. It seems I had some issue with the new macro ikzmarknode. Thank you again.

Thank you @marmot it works as expected but I get some errors in overleaf: Undefined control sequence (line 43), Package pgf Error: No shape named aux is known. (line 46) Should I worry about them?
– Rod
Dec 1 at 19:53

@Rod Most likely overleaf does not yet have the latest version of tikzmark in it, in which the command tikzmarknode is defined. I will add a solution that should work with the old version of tikzmark.
