Hi,

I want to specify the maximum width of a frame. If the size of the box is smaller than the maximum width, I want a tight box. Something like

\frame[maxwidth=5cm,align=middle]{Small} should give

+-----+ |small| +-----+

while \frame[maxwidth=5cm,align=middle]{A very very long line that is split at 5cm} should give

+----------------------+ | A very very long | | line that is split | | at 5cm | +----------------------+

Is there something builtin that does this, or do I need to play with scratchbox cum suis.

that's a braindead extension; however, it will be 'autowidth=force' (default value is yes) because otherwise we get conflicts with existing maxwidth usage Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
