I want the heading ("Meldebogen", "Anklage", "Beweisaufnahme", "Urteil") all on the same vertical height regardless of the content. I figured that simply top-aligning the text in every node would do the trick for me, but googling and texexchanging how to do that didn't yield any results.

I have tried \phantom{a} trickery, \vspace and \vspace* to no avail.

The whole TikZ script is just a variation of this code

If you set a (rather large) text depth and a text height they will align:

\tikzset{start/.style = {signal, draw=#1, fill=#1!30,
             text width=23mm, text=black, minimum height=23mm, font=\tiny,text depth=20mm,text height=5mm,
             signal pointer angle=150, on chain},
         cont/.style = {start=#1, signal from=west, text=black}
        }

  • Thanks. Just so that I learn from it: Why is this the case? Pure tex magic? Or is it a workaround like \phantom{}? – Narusan Jun 28 '18 at 15:18

As an alternative, it's possible to define the paragraph title can be included as a label instead of being part of the contents. This way they are always located at similar distance from the north border.
