I have no idea where you get 0 (0pt?).
Nor do I, in the meantime. Sorry for my noise, I don't know what sort of mistakes I did to get "0.0pt". Corona? :-) This is my test, which is essentially the same what Aditya suggests: ----------------------------------------- \starttext \setbox0=\vbox{\hsize=300pt\input ward } \copy0 wd0=\the\wd0, ht0=\the\ht0 \vskip12pt \startalign[flushleft] \setbox1=\vbox{\hsize=300pt\input ward } \stopalign \copy1 wd1=\the\wd1, ht1=\the\ht1 \stoptext ----------------------------------------- The .pdf-file is appended Now to your proposal, Wolfgang:
\starttexdefinition NextboxDimension \starttabulate \NC Width \EQ \the\nextboxwd \NC\NR \NC Height \NC \the\nextboxht \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptexdefinition
\starttext
\dowithnextboxcs \NextboxDimension \vbox {\samplefile{ward}}
\dowithnextboxcs \NextboxDimension \vbox {\setupalign[flushright] \samplefile{ward}}
\dowithnextboxcs \NextboxDimension \vbox {\hsize=200pt \samplefile{ward}}
\dowithnextboxcs \NextboxDimension \vbox {\hsize=200pt \setupalign[flushright] \samplefile{ward}}
\stoptext
Up to now I cannot say anything about it, because there are some commands which are new to me. I have to study them first. Thank you for your effort! Rudolf
