11 You can save the typeset material inside a box register and use that box inside the Ti*k*Z node. That way you can circumvent the issue, though this doesn't really solve it.

Beamer, add stretch to lists 19

15 Beamer columns are basically just minipages with some `\hfill` between them to distribute them across the page (and a couple of extra features like making them overlay aware etc.). So I would not say "don't use minipages with beamer" but rather that is normally easier to use columns instead of minipages.

5 This is not really an answer to the question, because it won't solve the problem with lists in columns, but I just saw an interesting idea how to make normal lists stretchy in beamer (inspired by https://github.com/josephwright/beamer/pull/696):

10 It is straightforward to store the information in an aux file, and this had already been done in [this post](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/539395). You can then read them out with a pgf function, which I called `MMapNodesAtLevel`. (With these functions one has to be a bit careful, when one tries to define a new function under a name of an existing function, one gets an error. Hence the long name of the function, which makes it less likely that this function is already used by another package or code.) This function has the number of nodes under a level after the first compilation, when this information is retrieved and stored in the aux file. You will want to give the mind maps names with `mmap/name` in order to have unique numbers per mind map. This makes it possible to have several mind maps in the document for each of which the information gets stored in the aux file. If the information is not known, e.g. because this is the first run or you invoke the function outside the scope in which the name of the mind map is set, the function will return `0`. This is why we use

11 It depends on what you mean by 2D. If you mean that you want to have a 2D projection of a cone, you could use [3dtools](https://github.com/marmotghost/tikz-3dtools).

10 You don't need to manually add a `tikzmark`, instead you can accesses the node you defined with `\tikzmarkin{a}... \tikzmarkend{a}`. This is automatically located at the top left of the box:

9 You can also use a `\tikzmarknode` and its `north` anchor.

How to place text without moving anything else 24
tikz tcolorbox

10 The situation is a bit tricky because even if it won't take up any space, the `tikzpicture` will still have to start a line and `tcolorbox` you use afterwards will go in a fresh line.

9 I never really knew what the `nobeforeafter` key in `tcolorbox` is really good for, but this very situation seems to be one where it appears to be useful.
