Getting the width of the current container
I'm trying to create a generic command to write a solid heading. The width of the heading should fit into the containing environment in which the heading it rendered.
In the example below, the orange heading flows outside the table.
What command should I use to replace textwidthin the solidheading so that it will always print a width that fits into either a paragraph width or inside a table column?

The code to produce this is as follows:
documentclass[12pt]article
usepackagexcolor
newcommandsolidheading[2][yellow]
 noindent colorbox#1parbox[t]textwidth#2
 vskip1ex
usepackagecolortbl
usepackagefontawesome5
newenvironmentnotes
 noindent
 begintabular!colorblackvrule width 0.01textwidthp0.85textwidth
 cellcolorgray
 LargefaEdit[regular] bfseriesNotes\

 endtabular
begindocument

 solidheading[orange]Don't forget
