public class Hbox
extends AbstractBoxPrimitive

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \hbox.

The Primitive \hbox

The primitive \hbox takes arguments enclosed in braces and typesets this contents in horizontal mode. If a width is given then the horizontal box is spread to this width. Otherwise the horizontal box has the natural width of its contents.

The contents of the tokens register \everyhbox is inserted at the beginning of the horizontal material of the box.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following: 
    ⟨hbox⟩
      → \hbox ⟨box specification⟩ { ⟨horizontal material⟩ }

    ⟨box specification⟩
      →
       |  to ⟨rule dimension⟩
       |  spread ⟨rule dimension⟩

Examples

    \hbox{abc}  
    \hbox to 120pt{abc}  
    \hbox spread 12pt{abc}

The Tokens Parameter \everyhbox

The tokens parameter is used in /hbox. The tokens contained are inserted at the beginning of the horizontal material of the horizontal box.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following: 
    ⟨everyhbox⟩
      → \everyhbox ⟨equals⟩ ⟨tokens⟩

Examples

    \everyhbox{\message{Hi there}}
