Subject: How to calculate the height of text of a certain width?
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2020 12:19:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200324111910.GA6219@nan> (raw)
Hello dear All,
the following MWE works best:
\definelayer[LAY]
\starttext
\setlayerframed[LAY]
[x=0pt,y=20pt]
[frame=on,
width=300pt,
align={right,}] % tolerant}]
{\input ward }
\flushlayer[LAY]
\stoptext
Now, it could have a favourable effect on designing a page if the height of a text
of certain width could be calculated in advance, depending of the font.
Is there a way?
As I fear, TeX's means "\setbox" woun't work with aligned texts.
Best wishes, remain healthy,
Rudolf
