try to get pgf manuals title page code into own areas. I have copied the code snippet of titlepage for nodeshadowed, but get error: \nodeshadowed has an extra }. I don't see the error. Additionally it seems I have troubles to put the code right in here (following mwe). But I try anyway. Thanks for your ideas.

```
    \documentclass[fontsize=10pt]{scrartcl}

     \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
     \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
     \usepackage{lmodern}
     \usepackage[margin=1cm,a5paper]{geometry}

      \usepackage{tikz}
      \usetikzlibrary{fadings}

       \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

      \begin{document}
          \parbox[]{\textwidth}{%

            \begin{tikzpicture}[]
              \def\nodeshadowed[#1][#2]{
                     \node[scale=2,above,#1]{\global\setbox\mybox=\hbox{#2}\copy\mybox};
                     \node[scale=2,above,#1,yscale=-1,scope fading=south,opacity=0.4] {\box\mybox};
 }
               \nodeshadowed [at={(-4,4 )},yslant=0.05] {\Huge Meli};
                \end{tikzpicture}
      }%end parbox

     \end{document}

```
