Hi,
in one of Luigi's "Grid-keeping table"-mail I saw the term "\setbox100". I didn't try that code
good, it doesn't work, sorry. (It to was too much near to time of my return at home).
The command is \setbox, 100 is the argument to this command. This is pure \TeX, I think it could also be written as \setbox{100} (but I may be wrong here). hmm Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> { l.4 \setbox{ 100}=\ruledvbox{\hsize=18cm\input tufte }
Also wonderful for a programmer: \expandafter\def\csname VBOX 100 00 01\endcsname{FOOO} \csname VBOX 100 00 01\endcsname -- ok Almost anything (numbers, spaces,..): you can use a sort of namespaces \csname VBOX100 00 01\endcsname -- nothing, and no error Not defined before it, but it's not en error to call it. \VBOX100 00 01 ! Undefined control sequence. l.8 \VBOX 100 00 01 An error, of course: I never defined it. The context way \setvalue{abc123}#1{\framed{#1}}
